Abstract
A disposable screen used in a screen printing system for printing onto electronic devices is formed of a non-metallic material. The screen is patterned from a foil. The material can be selected from a group consisting of plastic, nylon, paper, and resin. A disposable screen is mounted in the screen printing system, after which a paste material (including solder or an adhesive such as polyimide, bismaleimide, or a thermoset or thermoplastic compound) can be printed through the screen to a target structure. The used screen is discarded after one or more uses and a new screen is mounted in the screen printing system. A teaching sheet having a disposable transparent film is also used to set up the screen printing system. The film is detachably attached to a frame. After one or more prints, the used film is detached and replaced with a new film.
