Thank you

Just to be sure; you're just printing standard laser toner onto the glossy magazine paper?

yep, thats correct, im using a hp laserjet 2300. its good if you can get a printer that has toner denisty options on it so that you can get the toner a bit heavier on the paper.

I'd like to know how to do it with a lightbox and photoresist PCBs, since I have all the gear to do it that way.

to be honest i've never tried that method, but for the most part i believe its very similar, minus the ferric chloride.
