Hello Gary,
I'm cheap. Print the layout on paper using your inkjet
printer. Take it to one of the big box office supply stores that do
printing and have them run the paper and the toner transfer film
through one of there machines. Cost $0.07 USD.
Usually, make a number of print outs of boards and glue them all on a
single sheet of paper - fill up the whole thing. That way it only
takes a single sheet of toner transfer film for multiple boards.
This is a great reflector for info. on the what it takes to get good
TT. One of the biggest aids, for me, was realizing I wasn't getting
the PCB clean well enough before applying the TT film. The
suggestions people have posted on how to get the board clean has been
a great help.
