Homebrew PCBs

---------------------------------------
Thanks for the replies. I have several sharpies in my desk drawer. 
Unfortunately, since my last post, I noticed another issue. I don't have 
a laser printer here at home, so I printed the layout to a file and 
loaded it to my jump drive for a remote print. I discovered that the 
resulting printout from the file shrunk the layout a bit. The mounting 
holes no longer line up, and everything is squeezed together 
accordingly. It wasn't immediately apparent due to the small difference, 
but when compared side by side with a printout from my home printer 
through the PCB software, it seems to have shrunk maybe 5% or so. Looks 
like I will have to try the transfer again, printing it out on my 
printer on some good paper, then borrow a copy machine to make the transfer.

you could print to pdf. Under windows pdfcreator is a great solution.

Then when printing from acrobat reader remember to print  with no page 
shrink (usually the printer borders are different. so you could have 
this out of scale effect, unless you select the right option). This 
should work.
