Dude, go with the photofab method. It's so good. I'm a newbie to 
making pcb's. Tinkered with iron-on for a while and had nothing but 
trouble. 

I was very leery about the photofab process. I read so many messages 
here that made it sound so difficult and complex. I finally broke 
down and bought the stuff to do photofab (not that expensive).

Photofab is GREAT!!! It's not difficult at all and the boards come 
out perfect. My first board is a total success.

If you want a simple starter kit, look at http://www.mgchemicals.com 
in their Products/Prototyping area. You need some transparencies 
that will work with your printer, a 416K Photofab Kit and a 416X 
Exposure Kit. Here in Canada, that all cost me around $120ish (maybe 
$85 US).

If you want to get more serious, also get a 416ES or 416E Etching 
Kit. I just do mine in a plastic dish - not so fancy, but works fine.

Oh ya, the 416K kit only comes with single-side board, so you'll 
most likely want to buy some double-side as well.

MG has a distributor list on their site, so you can find a dealer 
near you that carries these products. Geesh, I sound like an ad for 
MG Chemicals, but I'm just a very satisfied customer. I'm sure other 
companies have similar kits too.
