Eagle design rules for Pulsar toner transfer

2009-12-21 by blalor76

Morning, all.  I'm wondering if anyone has a set of design rules I could use with Eagle to help increase the likelihood of creating a layout that will work well with the toner transfer method and Pulsar's PCB-Fab-in-a-box.  Pulsar's site claims that you can do traces as small as 6mil, which seems much smaller than I need at this time.  For my layout thus far, I'm using 16mil traces which seem to be able to squeeze between DIP pads without too much difficulty, but I'm not sure how far apart traces should be from one another and from pads/holes to avoid shorts, and how large the pads/holes should be to avoid tearing them up when drilling.

Thanks,
Brian
