If you have a laser cutter, I've seen awesome results from coating the 
board with spray paint, burning it off to make an etch mask, and etching 
that.  If you're working with good, rectangular FR-4, I bet the 
registration is good enough to do double-sided.

Also, I also do a monthly (sometimes twice monthly) hobbyist group PCB 
buy.. http://pcb.laen.org/

    Has anyone here built a Printed Circuit Board printer using an Epson
    Inkjet? The process involves either modifying an existing printer or
    making a CD tray holder to fit a small copper-clad board, printing
    directly on the board, heating it to cure the ink and etching.

    We've done toner transfer PCBs at the space, but we're looking for
    something easier and more reliable.
