Homebrew PCBs

I have done the stacking of two black artworks, does work but can be 
a pain to get lined up and all.  Also tried printing sheet twice 
which sometimes lined up good and sometimes did not, normally took 
several trys to get one to come out with the double printing.  Once 
I started printing in yellow ink it works Great.  Yes you can kind 
of see thru the yellow ink but it is a filter to UV.  Also set 
printer for Best printing and if you can adjust the amount of ink 
used set it to max if you can.
