Did you actually etch that board?
For some reason solicone coated paper is far more prone to problems
with ground planes and wide traces. I've given up using it for
anything except component legend print a few years ago.

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?
