Homebrew PCBs

Thank you for the helpful information.
I have had moderate success with glossy paper from a catalog (Coilcraft 
catalog)
It actually seems to work better using a clothes iron than did the Epson 
photo paper that I had sitting around.
It leaves a paper residue that doesn't seem to come off of the toner 
even with rubbing. I don't want to damage the toner too much in the 
paper removal process.

I didn't have a black permanent marker so I used packing tape to mask 
off a large unused portion of the board and to fix a bad trace. Overall 
it was a good process. I just got my device put together and tested. It 
is a 65v to 200v boost converter.
Again, thanks for the recommendation.
