After thinking about it, I think I should clarify what I mean by
limits. I do not mean limits of my patience. I have gotten great
results with the toner transfer technique. I have been able to get to
.4mm pin spacing. However that was a very tough board to get right
with toner transfer. I am looking for even better quality. Also my
interests lie in trying to get to dimensions even smaller than what
would normally be required for making most circuit boards. PCB's
traces would be the large end of the spectrum.
I was just hoping that maybe someone in this group had done boards by
this method and might be able to offer some pointers.
