I use an HP 5940 DeskJet (it cost me about £60 five years ago) with Mega
Electronics JetStar Premium film. Resolution is 1200 dpi.

I'd never go back to a laser printer. I don't know what accuracy I get,
but I've never had a problem with 0.5 mm spacing QFPs and things like
those tiny Hirose connectors.
