I use an HP 5940 DeskJet (it cost me about \ufffd60 five years ago) with Mega 
Electronics JetStar Premium film. Resolution is 1200 dpi.

I'd never go back to a laser printer. I don't know what accuracy I get, 
but I've never had a problem with 0.5 mm spacing QFPs and things like 
those tiny Hirose connectors.
