Where I started when trying the toner-transfer stuff. My biggest problem is I don't have a laser jet at home, so I had to print them at work, bring them home, try out the process, and hope I didn't mess them up. The iteration process got very tedious and annoying, so I looked for a way I could use my inkjet instead - another reason for me switching to the photo-resist method.

Great site and vendor, good info on photo-resist PCB process. It's pretty much how I do it, except I don't use the thousand-dollar equipment. Looks like she uses tracing paper - I actually purchased transparency sheets that work with my inkjet. I lay the transparency ontop of the board with a clear piece of picture glass ontop to hold it flat, and use standard fluorescent lights (not UV) about 6" above the board for a few minutes to expose them.
