Hi, thank you for the reply.  I want to keep everything in house so my people have a job.

For prototypes and small quantities, doing it in house can save some money; for larger scale, I'm guessing there will be a point where the board houses can actually do it cheaper.

I have been making printed circuit boards for a long time now in small scale production, but I need to go cheaper, faster and even bigger.  My question is, does any one know where to buy pre-sensitized clad, developers, and etching solutions on a large scale?  Mouser, Digikey, Jameco, Datak and the like are expensive and the clad is too small to panelize.  Google is so frustrating for this, I usually only find Ali Babas market or production houses that charge 50 bucks for a 50 cent board.  For the curious, I'm making security products for industrial use.
