Making PCB's using UV sensitive photoresist

By Simon Grant, A3ARMIT2009.

Bibliography (Courtesy Google Books):

The first by G. Randy Slone is probably the book in which he gives the most detailed description of the photographic method, although his others also discuss this topic. The Al Williams book concentrates mainly on using the Eagle layout software but he also has two chapters on making PCBs, covering both the photographic method and toner transfer.
