The traces look good and dark - the ground plane does have some thin spots, but since there is no toner left on the paper I have to lay that blame to the HP P1006 printer, and it was starting to show those light spots on Pulsar and HP Presentation paper. I have 500 pages on a starter toner so that might be the problem... low toner?

Not yet. We've had a bit of snow come down and have been real busy
keeping the driveway cleared, and cleared, and cleared. Went to the sat
dish to clean it off and had to use snowshoes and a 4 foot walking
stick. The stick 2 inches of the stick above the snow.

Got the new printer but have not even had time to get it set up yet.

Maybe this weekend but the weather reports say snow day and night till
Monday.

Sorry....
