How can I determine BGA land pad diameter for given ball diameter?

I'm working on a project which requires the use of a CSP package. The product's datasheet provides ball pitch and ball diameter but nothing about the preferred land pad diameter. How can the pad diameter be worked out from these figures assuming an NSMD land?

You can refer to the following table.

Ball Dia. Reduction Land Pattern Density Level Land Dia. Land Variation
0.15 15% C 0.13 0.15-0.10
0.20 15% C 0.17 0.20-0.14
0.25 20% B 0.20 0.20-0.17
0.30 20% B 0.25 0.25-0.20
0.35 20% B 0.30 0.35-0.25
0.55 25% A 0.40 0.45-0.35

How can I indicate pin 1 on a SMT package footprint without silkscreen?

Sometimes when I order PCBs from a board house, I omit the bottom silkscreen for budgetary reasons. When I place surface-mount chips on the bottom of the board, I then end up with a footprint that doesn’t indicate the chip orientation. How can I clearly indicate pin 1 with the remaining layers in a way that will be clear but not significantly impact the PCB size or cause issues when soldering?
