[sdiy] if You Make PCB's @ home

[s]

Actually, I'm used a copier for the first batch that
worked very well- the next ones I'm going to  use a
laser printer just to see if it works better... On the
copier, I had thedarkness settings turned up all the
way. As well, use the manual feed tray on whichever
device you use- it bends the paper less, generally...

best,
s
