Subject: Discussion on Toner Transfer Method

Hello All,
Circuit designing has been my hobby for long time. However, i always found it difficult to make a PCB as there are no screen printers near my area and being a Embedded programmer i didnt wanted to jump in the time consuming process of PCB Manufacturing.
Couple of months ago i found out the "Toner Transfer" method for PCB manufacturing.However,for a newbie its still a matter of trial and error. So guys here i wanna start a discussion with all those who have done this process ( Sucessfully or not ) , to share their experiences and conclude with a perfect , cheap PCB making process, which can be implemented easily through TONER TRANSFER METHOD.
To maintain relevency of discussion let me point out few topics for discussion:
1. Paper used for Toner Transfer
2. Laser printer type.
3. time and temp. required for exposure ( imp)
4. Single sided and Double sided PCB designing.
5. CHEMICAL composition and eatching time.
etc..
