The best hold up to etch I have found is the uniball paint pen, I have
only tried the px203 white, its tip is fine but thats not fine by our
standards, but for standard DIP layouts its a superb pen.

I'm still trying to find a friendly driver for dip trace, I currenty
export it as BMP, then edge detect it, then load that into a vinyl
cutting package, takes longer than designing the boards lol
