0.5mm pitch is no probem with TT, using a 600dpi printer.
But it's best to make the pads slightly narrower than you'd usually make  
them, since the toner spreads a little.
How much depends, best experiment.

Now what is a problem on homebrew boards is getting signals to and fro,  
without real vias...

I'd much prefer if they didn't make them parts so small, but what can you  
do?
