    Abstract: Increasing standoff height for surface mount components mounted to a laminate by image screening at least one standoff structure in a footprint area on the laminate surface. The standoff structure may comprise a filled epoxy and curing agents and may be cured by thermal treatment or by exposure to actinic radiation.
