I use this and have found this to be brilliant for single sided / double sided PCB although it does take some practice and few little tricks before hand
Make sure the Board is thoroughly clean Use a PCB cleaning rubber - HX04E
PCB solvent cleaner - LL59P
You can also use clear acetone to clean the board and then wash with soap and water hot and dry with a lint free cloth Try to ensure no finger prints on board
You also want a touch up pen but you can use a none removable marker pen (Little tip for you there ) works well Use Fine point
Ive managed to use this method to make small surface mount boards to this level (This was more a test of endurance and patience more than anything else to see if this could be done ) It can
Above all be prepared to make mistakes and have headaches you wont get this right straight away but you will after three or four attempts at this The trick is preparing the board to accept the transfer and being diligent , paying attention to small details
The results ive had are all working all tested projects quite a few ive posted on here but it does help you to produce a prototype working model before you send to manufacture
It also ensures that you personally know what to look for in good PCB design , something you only learn from practice ( plenty of fault finding hence all good design engineers come from a fault finding enviroment Its not all about paper ork cad packages you need to have good electronics backgrounding in all fields adviseable ) Comes with age and shear hard work no other method of achieving this rest assured
Software wise is a matter of personal choice, it’s what you are comfortable with for me Proteus design suite works extremely well and at present is sufficient for my needs You can spend ridiculous amounts of money on this and get no where
So my advice is to start experimenting with all types of software and see what you prefer some software is obviously better than others but it’s as I say personal choice
There are also free versions out there as well but bear in mind no support (Important)
On the complete plus side of this although an advantage to go to college and do this, Yes but not always possible, however I recommend that you try this because it will illustrate just how poor imports are and quality is neglected
B: It will show you just how, many mistakes can be made in a design process
C: It will definitely, I guarantee you , make you want to produce design’s yourself especially when you see the rubbish on the market that people buy more importantly just how many business collapse because the buyer / director doesn’t know their own business and industry they are competing in or for that fact just how other manufacturers pull the wool over their eyes when they see them coming the results of which are catastrophic costing everyone their jobs (Not Good news I can assure you)
Finally having done this yourselves its time to ship that design to the likes of Lara ( also bare in mind this gives you yet another feather to add to your cap and you could also produce small scale or simply produce prototypes thus cerating your own employment or at least we hope so "Much to Collins disgust of course ")
D: It also gives you a very clear insight into sofwtare and also the ricks they get up too as well (Also not good news but something you can only learn the hardway ) They too can be really un- co operative normally when you least dont need this , typically when you politley suggest there is a problem with thier sofwtare and could they please rectify this problem
They tend to take an awful long time to get back to you with an answer and this too can lead to collapse of a company, so be warned about some of them (typically when they know something is wrong but don’t wish to admit this you normally get unanswered emails, unanswered calls, or “We don’t have to answer “ , quite common this as well ,also company suddenly disappears of the face of the planet) Also normal this somewhat retarded approach to creating better trade relations
They are not easy people to deal with at the best of times much to everyones disugust i think but there you go such is life
Other recommendations I can make are don’t be inclined to use the autotrax methods for laying out tracks
Its the easy option to start with also a false method of luring yourself into a pretence of over whelming self indulgence and confidence only to have this shattered in five seconds particularly if you are thinking about mass production ,not always the correct option
Learn to do this manually because later on when it comes to fault diagnosing allot of which has to be done manually and by hand , you wont be able to identify a non connected component or indeed a track fault be that thickness areas or width Quite important this
It will happen, make no mistake ,so that just another small suggestion because you will come across this as well ( very easy trap to be drawn into )
I think you have entered into a basic knowledge about PCB. So I may suggest you to visit different web to get idea about on. I also give some link to know about yourself.

PCB is a specialist in the production of single, double-sided, and multilayer circuit boards. The company utilises advanced production equipment and production technology, enabling it to perform rough shape cutting-drilling, PTH, lines, electroplating, solder, tin spray, anti-oxidation, gold plating, gold immersion, electrical measurement, and shape–packaging.
