I've got a small project that I want to make about two hundred copies of. The board is 1" x 1.25" single side single layer with 10 through holes. I don't need silkscreening or special features, just the etched board. I've got accurate drawings in AutoCad. What would be the least expensive way to get these made? Time isn't so much a factor.
I've thought about making them myself, but haven't got experience with the photo processes. The largest board I've made so far is
5.5" x 6" with a couple of hundred through holes single sided, I used the technique of laser printing the reverse layout onto the backing sheet of labels, then ironing the toner onto the board, touching up defects with a Sharpie permanent marker. That worked ok, but it wasn't as professional-looking as I'd like these to look.If I go with a photo process, I'd like to make my own sensitized boards because the pre-sensitized boards are fairly expensive. Is that something that's possible? Is there a spray or coating that I can apply to make a board photo-resist ready?
Thanks!
