I'm new to the group, and impressed with the example photo of a homebrew PCB on the group's home page (The FM Receiver with a penny in the photo for scale).  What method was used to do this?  I haven't been able to get anywhere near that kind of precision with traditional toner transfer, and I haven't tried any other methods yet.

Here are some examples of my high resolution Tower Transfer efforts
using "PCB FAB in a Box" from:

That image is from "Patrick's Pictures" in the Photos section.

If this doesn't work, just go to the Photos and look for Patrick's Pictures.

According to his captions, that was done with Toner Transfer.

Wow, that was done with toner transfer and MS Paint?

I've found a lot of information on toner transfer online (much of it conflicting). Does anyone have a concise guide on what works well for them?
