You please convert the PCB File into Gerber Format.In the Gerber Text File Please add the following two lines after second line of the gerber file

%IPNEG*%
%LPC*%

These two are for converting the Gerber into negative.Now open this gerber file in a gerber viewer, probably your PCB Design software should be capable of importing gerber files.Noe this gerber file will be the negative of the PCb File.Take a printout.Your problem will be solved.
Note.Some PCB design softwares will not be able to open the negative.But I checked in Protel dxp.It is working fine.

If you do the conversion in Graphics software like corel, there will be problem in scaling and finally you will lose the original pcb dimensions.
