I have been thinking about that approach while reading this thread. It has
been a long time (30 years?) since I did that so I don't remember all the
details. I recall printing on one particular side of a clear plastic sheet
which I seem to remember had a coating to release the toner more easily and
consistently. I think there was an acid etchent, a neutralizer, and a
cleaner. The hardest part was drilling for through hole parts.
