Hi Chris,

A step by step approach may be appropriate here due to all the 
variables and unknowns.

1.Try printing a pcb pattern on a CD

2.Replace the CD with a pcb.

3.Dry / cure and etch the test pcb.

At this point you have proven the process, then "tweak" it as needed.

The print/dry/etch have still not yet been duplicated. Or is someone 
holding out here? :)

TANSTAAFL!
