For PCB design I use this software:
TARGET 3001! V14 PCB-POOL®Edition
http://www.pcb-pool.com/ppuk/service_downloads.html
This software is excellent, best of all it is legally FREE! You can design circuits and view the pcb in 3D. Unlimited pins/unlimited size. It allows you to print the pcb. The only limitation is you can not export mechanical milling and drilling formats/information.

I use this etchant:
Stop using Ferric Chloride etchant! (A better etching solution.)

I use this paper:
Staples "Picture" paper

I use my laser print to print the pcb design on the glossy side of the paper. Next, I use a clothes iron to transfer the toner to the pcb copper clad. Finally, I soak the pcb in water to loosen up the paper and rub/peel it off until all that remains is the toner. Once the pcb is etched acetone can be used to remove the toner.
