I've seen some posts here about people doing the Laser Printer heat toner-transfer to PCB with the special sugar coated paper, but I've been doing it for quite a while with just plain regular paper. The only difference is that the paper doesn't float right off the PCB in water. You have to soak the board in water, let the paper soften then gently rub it off. In our experience, the traces stick to the PCB better with this method in comparison to using the special paper. I've done many boards reliably with 10 mil traces. A few weeks ago, I posted a msg to another group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/argnj/message/447 There are also pics of an example board at http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/argnj/lst under the "Laser Toner PCB Etching" folder.
