This technique is popular with the model railway fraternity.  Post to 
rec.model.railroads.  Randy Gordon-Gilmour seems to be the expert on doing 
this at home.  His methods with pics are archived on the 2mm scale association 
webpage run by Nigel Cliffe (I think).  Sorry I do not have the addresses to 
hand.

Hope this helps

Lawrence

Correct, thanks for the plug :-)  Randy's article on DIY etching is at:

Sorry for the obscure URL, one of these days we will get a more sensible
location, instead of piggy backing on university accounts.

I make printed circuit boards using an unusual technique.

The procedure uses a special paper that can be printed upon by a laser printer. The 
patern to be printed can be made by cad programs or paint programs. 

Laser printers melt the toner onto the paper. The special paper has the property of 
holding the toner only weakly as opposed to normal paper. The special paper is now 
placed on the work and remelted onto the work using an iron. After cool wash the special 
paper off the work with water. The toner left on the work is impervious to asids. The 
work can now be etched.

This paper can be obtained fro DigiKey in Thief River Falls, MN. It costs $3.00 per 
8.5"x11" sheat.
