Homebrew PCBs

Actually I found that a light color background actually works 
slightly better than straight black and white pages.  The toner seems 
to embed itself slightly less into the paper and as a result the 
paper backing comes off leaving less pulp in denser toner areas.  I 
use a laminator so I haven't noticed any bubbling like that.  If the 
paper has been setting around for a while (soaking up moisture) 
sometimes it can react differently.  Most of the time I use fresh 
trade magazines that they keep sending me, so they haven't been on my 
desk long...

Sorry to interject; I've just had a couple of people ask me about the 
magazine stock I've been using the last couple of days.
