Homebrew PCBs

I wasn't aware sprint layout is still beeing produced, haven't seen it in  
a long time. I might just look at the demo to see how it is now.
I use Target, also from germany.

There are plenty of these "reasonably priced" packages out there, many  
will do everything you really need and most are relatively easy to use.

Good to hear transfer and CuCl etching works for you, for me it's the best  
method for my needs as well.
