Most pads are ok - perhaps a bit large.

Small pitch QFN packages are a problem. To do these,

  • For each QFN pad, downsize "solder paste absolute clearance" to -0.09 and produce solder mask svg
  • Configure Light burn to engrave at
    • 100mm/s at 30%
    • Line interval of 0.02mm

It might also be a good idea to apply this globally since other pads also end up a bit large. This can be done:

  • File -> Board Setup -> Solder Mask Paste
  • "Solder paste absolute clearance" -> -0.09mm
