Looking for someone to etch small runs of PC boards from artwork...

2006-02-15 by Cliff Ward

Does anybody know of a person/business that will make etched PC 
boards from artwork?  I recently took over manufacturing of a 
specialty hobby electronics project, and it involves the use of a 1" 
x 2" etched PCB.  Unfortunately I do not have the PCB in electronic 
format, only a B&W printout of the artwork (reversed) ready to use 
for transfer method PBC manufacture.  I would be interested in 
establishing a relationship with someone willing to make these PCBs 
for me from the artwork.  Twenty-eight (28) of the PC boards will 
fit on an 8 1/2" x 11" paper.  there are about 60 holes per PC 
board.  

I'd probably wish to purchase in batches of 28 or 56 or somewhere 
therabouts.

I would appreciate any leads that could be provided.  Persons 
interested in making boards for this project can contact me off list 
to discuss.  

Alternatively I am considering a respin of the PCB onto a new 
electronic format file that I can send out for manufacture.  Anybody 
have suggestions?
 
Regards,
Cliff

What do you want the per piece cost of the boards to be?
Single or double side?
Are there any screw holes or slots?
Do you want them fully depanelized, or could they be left attached with 
perforations?
