I lucked out having some old inkjet photo paper from the first inkjet I
had, that worked really well. The toner transfer method can work pretty
well if you are patient. It may not transfer the first few times. I had
to use a lot of heat and a lot of pressure. The etched board turned out
pretty good. The real deal-maker for me would be a homemade solder mask
that acted as a solder mask, not just a film that looks like one.
