Homebrew PCBs

I used them but had made the mistake of putting text on the copper layer, which I expected to be flipped around and wasn't because they said that normally text should be right-reading.  Since it was a bare-bones PCB, I knew that there wouldn't be any silkscreen which is why I placed the text in the first place--knowing that it would be right-reading if you looked at the component side of the board.  Well, it cost me a few bucks but my second time around with them worked out fine when I got the hang of submitting the proper artwork.

All in all, I plan on using these guys again and again for my double-sided bare-bones PCB work because I just don't dare make double-sided boards at home.

Peace,
Scotty

100sqinx$0.50+$25= $75 comparing to the other guys. Indeed, this is a 
much better fab house and one doesn't need a legal department to talk 
to them. They can go to 6 mils which is also better
Their pricing is clear and web site is great. I am impressed by their 
business practices.  It appears that htey created that link for 
people like me who appreciate simplicity. Their main link 
is:http://www.4pcb.com/services.htm   I alos noticed that they have 
sales people in plenty of states. Mike
