Chris,

Here is a site with a wealth of information that you may find interesting,

http://www.capefearpress.com/puretchpcb.html

There was one reference to this site in a posting about 1 year ago relative to sources of dry film resist.

They are selling a high resolution negative Riston at $10.00 for 2 square feet as a sample size. The price drops by 1/2 if you buy 20 square feet $(45.00). I learned a lot by watching their videos.  In particular, the explanations of the Stouffer step gauge are excellent.
