I terms of actual hands-on time,I'm quite sure UV exposure is
quicker. I just have to put the transparency and PCB together into
the exposure unit, and switch it on. Although it takes 13 minutes,I
can do something else whilst it is 'cooking'. I then take the PCB out
and develop it in NaOH - about a minute_ before rinsing and etching.
Total time actually working on the PCB is about two minutes.
