Well, looking at some bog-standard 0805 0.1 uF 16V ceramic caps available from Digikey, only Kemet mentions even optional marking (as E noted above). No mention at all, that I saw, in the datasheets for Panasonic or Murata or Yageo or Johanson. Must be that those are all "el cheapo" brands, I suppose.

That is a KEMET LASER MARKING option.
Do you really think that all cap makers follow the same business model as Kemet?

I do know that resistors are far easier to emblazon letters onto than a ceramic cap is.
Ten glazed caps go in as one value, and come out as ten different values.
Lasers cost more than cheap glaze and ovens?
Sure it is also about cost. Not only was marking them hard when they did do it, but now that they are physically smaller, it would cost considerably more to mark them legibly now than it used to. They would have to use a tighter focus laser, for starters, as the res of the old lasers is likely to low for the tinyer lettering.

Bullshit, if you believe the jerks in this NG your business won't go very far. If the part is too small to label, then how can you label it? That's the real reason. It's not because of it's too cheap. Another wrong interpretation of the Rednecks.

You're a goddamned idiot. IF you had enough brains to read the ENTIRE thread, you would know that we are talking about 0805 and larger form factors.
Since you are a total retard from the get go, however, you are clueless every time you post.
They do not do it because it saves several manufacturing process steps, idiot. THAT IS COST. Go the f*ck away, idiot.

I'm forgetful ;-) I do now remember ValleyGirl. My apologies... I only see follow-ups to NymNoNuts occasionally as I do my (roughly) weekly filter checks :-)

There is no gender indicated, you retarded twit.
Both terms are Latin.
Violet pachyderm is a colored elephant.
Violet Ditzybitch is a person's name. They are two different things.
One is an animal, the other is your daughter.
But you have to be human to get such things. You do not qualify.
