Homebrew PCBs

I'm new to this group, so forgive me if this has already been 
discussed to death. I am mostly interested in very small robots, so I 
want to make small (less than 2x2 inches), relatively thin boards. 
Has anyone successfully used one of these dedicated cd or dvd label 
printers, or a photo printer that also allows cd printing for direct 
transfer? I am aware of the ink issues, etc, though I have not fully 
researched this, yet. Thanks for any leads.
