Thanks tor the link on the tool. That looks like a
better solution for my current need.

OTOH:

I have experiamce making PCB photographicly. I still
have the darkroom equipment. I have a need to generate
larger panels than possible with a clothes iron. And I
am not sure the small laminators will satisfy my
needs.

I can handle 6X9 panels fine photographicly. I have
been trying to make a 1X3 prototype for testing.

To switch to the photo process all I need is the
pre-coated board stock and developer. I have
everything else.

The last time I tried the photo process it failed. But
it may have been the wrong developer or the fact that
I did not expose the board under a floresent lamp. The
infomation I have been able to read lately is much
more comprehensive than it was in 1996. That was the
early days of the web and we did not have the good
search engines then.
