Homebrew PCBs

Me too. LaserStar produces good results with my Canon laser printer. I 
also use laser printer overhead projector transparency film which is 
much cheaper. Free even if you know a friendly school or college who has 
some they don't use any more. OHP film doesn't stay as flat as Laser 
Star and isn't so good for fine detail work. I've made some PCBs using 
both today. OHP film was fine for the capacitor stack for a 2.5kV linear 
amplifer PSU. Big tracks with very wide spaces! But I used LaserStar for 
the amplifier logic control board layout.

The last of my etchant is exhausted this evening which is really 
frustrating because I have just one more board to make!
