I've actually had a lot of success with an inkjet printer and inkjet OHP
sheets - although I tend to print 4 PCBs out at the same time and choose
the best one.

I set the printer so it uses as much ink as possible, and as high
resolution as possible (I use an HP Deskjet 1220C for this).

Thinnest track I've done is 6 thou, but I tend to do 15 thou, on a 25
thou grid - and I did need to use a craft knife to 'unjoin' adjacent
tracks :) It all depends on how much work you want to do.
