Yeh. I payed $130. I know it's alot, but if your serious. That's simply what
you end up having to do. Seriuoly, I made a batch of like ~60 SMD Hextile
boards. I could have never have done that by hand or by transfer. It's a
much more involved process to get it fabricated for you, but eh, like I
said, you'll learn from experince. Trust me, I had my three dollar day's
too. Still do. But that's a pain in the REAR if your serious. It's nice to
test designs and stuff, but it has real limits, and the work ratio just
isn't worth it at all.

I've requested quotes tho from local places and they want 100 - 300 us
bucks! What are you paying? That is WAY too much when I could make them
for three dollars.
