Sweet! Here's a tip: you know the track-to-track spacing is 20 mil (you did say 10/10 pattern, yes?). Given that, you can calculate the actual DPI of the photo (about 4300 dpi for the spot I was measuring). Also measure a track, and you can compute the actual track width (about 9.2 mil in some spots, 7.1 in others). But simply measuring pixels-of-copper vs pixels-of-space should tell you how close to "perfect" you are. Your ohms are a little high, some things that might cause that: * pinholes cause "necks" in the copper which add resistance * cleaning/scraping/sanding the copper might thin it somewhat * thinner traces on average would increase it If you just go by the ohms ratio, it says your average trace width is 18/23 * 10 = 7.8 mil, which sounds close enough. Did you measure the high ohms between the two tracks? Also, if you have a flatbed scanner, they're often useful for high-accuracy PCB scans.
