A
system and method for addressing mis-jetting while avoiding problems caused by the
screen printing process is provided. [Solution] A
system and method includes printing or otherwise transferring dot-like portions of a material (e.g., a
viscous material such as
solder paste) onto an intermediate substrate in a first printing unit, moving the intermediate substrate with the printed dot-like portions of the material to a second printing unit, and then transferring the dot-like portions of the material from the intermediate substrate to a final substrate in the second printing unit. Optionally, the first printing unit includes a
coating system that produces a uniform layer of material on the donor substrate, and the material is transferred in discrete dot-like portions from the donor substrate onto the intermediate substrate in the first printing unit. Each of the first and second printing units can use different printing or other transfer technologies. The system can also include a material curing unit and an imaging unit to support the overall process.
