We got parts EPF10K30RI208-4N DC:17+ with INK marking, but according to some information for this parts the marking should made by laser method. But suplier told even for now some factories producing this series Altera with INK marking.

I know about it, in PDN1619 said about last order accepted June 2017 and last shipping its december 2017, mean last parts have DC 17+, so my parts also produced at 2017 - is ok, but main wuestion about marking. Is last parts, produced in 2017 - can they be marked with INK or not?
