What is a good default value to use for QFN Thermal Tab Paste Mask %?
I asked our contract manufacturer and they me to use the recommendation on the manufacturers data sheet, however most manufacturers do not specify this.

Library Expert defaults to 50% paste mask reduction in the "Rules" tab. 

IPC says the range of Paste Mask Reduction should be 40% - 60%. 

Less than 40% is not enough and greater than 60% is too much.
