Wow, looks good.

But... you using thru hole ? I thought you liked SMT to almost the
exclusion of thru hole ?

The toner lines look great over the traces. You seem to have solved
the gap problem of the copper height and the board height and the
toner not getting into the edge where the copper and board meet.

For alignment marks, if you put in two holes on the board somewhere,
you can put an x on the print to line that up with the paper and
board.
