Homebrew PCBs

I looked at alot of inkjet tranny films online last nite, could find none 
that specifically mention gelatin as a coating. None of them seems to give 
any reason at all why you should pay more for one than another, though the 
prices vary widely.  Just the same, I think I will try one of the higher 
quality films for inkjet and see how it goes. If I can figure out what 
exactly constitutes higher quality. I'll make a point of keeping it sealed 
for storage.
