Try Laser printing on paper and iron it onto a very clean pcb. (Sometimes helps to preheat pcb with iron for a minute before applying paper) Cool. Soak paper in windex. peel off. touch up if needed. etch. Or you can use a laminator instead of an iron, but it may warp the pcb a little.
: A more professional finish can be achieved by etching your own PCB and then soldering your components to it. To do so, you design the traces on your PC and print it on transparency sheets in your LaserJet. Then you get photoresist copper boards from RadioShack and apply your printout under a strong light. Then you develop and etch your circuit using chems from Radio shack and finally you drill the holes to place your devices. Then you place your components and solder. With this technique you will get professional results, like the I-PAC.
