I use the photo transfer method with good results. 
Either you print the layout on transparency film directly (if you got a
laser printer) or you print on paper, go to a copyshop and let it transfer
to a transparency. Photo coated material is only slightly more expensive,
and you can re-use the film you made, which is quite handy.

Bye,
 René
