| VectorGuard® Blue
DEK VectorGuard™ stencils enhance the Vector frame concept to achieve even easier handling, management, storage and changeover. Frame mounted foils are easier to store and manage than standard, permanently-mounted stencils. Foils can be kept in a convenient and space-efficient hanging filing system. There is no need to return each frame to the stencil supplier for credit and recycling. And the foil is automatically tensioned every time, immediately before use.

| VectorGuard® PumpPrint®
PumpPrint™ Stencils cover a wide range of applications ranging from the now industrial standard of SMT adhesive application to silver epoxy die attach, high volume depositions of solder past and extrusive reflow. PumpPrint stencils allow surface mass image printing of any multiple combination of deposit heights even on pre-populated surfaces in one single print stoke cycle. PumpPrinting opens up a wide range of manufacturing process alternatives with potential for reducing manufacturing cost along with process cycle time reductions.

| PumpPrint®
PumpPrint® technologies enable high throughput adhesive deposition using a screen printing platform. Careful selection of stencil material, and informed study of the design of apertures and other stencil features, enables a wide range of adhesive patterns to be successfully deposited using a standard screen printer. New techniques, including ProFlow® DirEKt Imaging, enhance the speed, repeatability and flexibility of PumpPrint® to far outstrip the capabilities of current adhesive dispensers.
