Hi Jose,
For direct printing of PCB artwork it's hard to beat a TEK (or Xerox) thermal wax printer. You can feed thin stock directly through an unmodified printer and move directly to Adam's CuCl2 etching bath. No extra surface cleaning required. No laminator is needed. And best of all no touch up of the traces is usually needed. The printers are available on the surplus market for $50 - $100.
A search of the list archives will yield several messages.
