Why is DEK a common choice for SMT printers? DEK (now a brand under ASM) has long been a leading name in SMT solder paste printers, and the Horizon 03i and GALAXY are the two most widely traded models. The used market has a mature parts supply and widespread repair know-how, and after depreciation they offer good value — a common choice for small and medium electronics plants setting up or expanding lines.
Trademarks: DEK, ASM, Horizon and GALAXY are trademarks or model names of their owners. JIAHON is not the authorized distributor of DEK in Taiwan.
