I'd did the paper toning method, really works for me, but slightly different then wat is mention above.

For me:

1.Print the layout track on an A4 paper using high resolution laser printer.

2. Put the paper on a copper plate and start ironing. U need to apply pressure on that and it takes around 15 to 20 minutes.

3. When the paper is sticked on the copper plate, put the copper plate into the water.

4. Start peeling off the paper. U will noticed that the track will atached to the copper plate.

5. Etch the copper plate with acid, shake the container as well to make the process faster.

6. Use a brush or watever is convinient to u to remove the paper track on the plate.

7. now u hv the nice PCB.....

enjoy
