Alright so I dont have acess to a Laserjet printer, but I can do the "Ink Method" Ive seen people use the ink method with great sucess.
Although I can figure out how they do it. They put it in MSPaint, but their PCB's look different. They have all areas filled, like there are almost no tracks.
Can somone guide me on how to make a good PCB using the ink method?

I have photoshop also, which I perfer over MSpaint..
I use something called Targer 3001 to make my PCB's. Its like cad and it does its job (I need something with auto routing) I have no clue how people route it on their own..
Autorouting means that the computer takes a schematic and tries to make a correct PCB out of it.
I use manual routing where I do all traces myself. Doing it on your own is better when you want to guarantee a correct PCB for the first time.
Just think that the lines on the PCB is the copper, and those are conductors. point me to a very simple circuit you want in a PCB format, and I can do it for you.
Thats a pretty simple circuit, I would think you could get away without tracks crossing. If the tracks do have to cross, then you'll just need a jumper wire. (drill holes like you are going to put a component in, and then just put a piece of wire in)
