Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Question about developing a board

2004-10-01 by Les Newell

If you are buying board from Mega then I would recommend their Microtrak
board rather than the Fotoboard. It is the same price but it seems to be
more tolerant to over/under exposure and it seems to give better
definition. The only down side is that it takes over twice as long to
expose. You also need stronger developer.
