One way works only on single sided boards, the other works on both
single and double sided boards.

Method #1, single sided only. Print on a transparency the reverse of
your silk screen layer. Try a contrasting color with the board (black
on light boards, dark boards you might try red or yellow ink). Reverse
the board, cement to the top of the board (or use double sided carpet
tape) and you have a silk screen layer.

method #2, use a toner transfer to the board. If the board is light
colored, you can use black or perhaps a color laser. Haven't tried
that.

Method #2b, use toner transfer and black for the silk screen layer,
then use white film to transfer. www.pulsar.gs sells this though
various distributors.
