Hopefully there will be some folks in there who are actually doing it, and
can provide better info than my faulty recollections. :-)

A while ago (late '80s, early '90s) I
heard a suggestion for using copier
toner as PCB etch resist (draw on paper, copy onto overhead
transparencies, iron onto the PCB). Now that PCB layout software is
available easily, as are laser printers, has anyone here tried it? I'm
wondering how well it would resolve for finer-pitch DIP/SIP packages, or
if the etchant would eat through the traces.
This _is_ being done, and the technique is called "toner transfer" if I'm
remembering right. There were a couple of yahoo groups that were devoted
to this very subject.
