The latest software for expresspcb (www.expresspcb.com) has the BS1, BS2, and
BS2p40 in the express schematic library.

    I agree, the price is high if you want silkscreening. I never use it though.
    What I will do (space permitting) is to put text (as a trace) on the board.

    Actually, if you really want to do a nice job -- go to a craft or art supply
    store and get "water slide" paper. You can print on it with a laser printer
    and make a decal like you put on model cars, airplanes, etc. Of course the
    legend will be black but very sharp. The decal is very thin so component
    leads push right through it and the plastic vaporizes under heat so if you
    have any top-side soldering it will still work.

    This is a real life saver when you have had 500 boards made and they forgot
    to image the silk screen layer :-) Um, not that I've ever done that, no no!
    I'll deny it to the end.

    If you are highly motivated, get time on an ALPS printer which can print in
    white. There are ink jet water slide papers too but I haven't tried them.

    probably not. PC boards are pretty much sold by the square inch.
    $1.00 a square inch is really a low cost.

    Olimex http://www.olimex.com/pcb/ offers a $34.00 special for one
    board. 2to3- week delivery. (mail) but they will put 2 of your
    boards on it, IF you supply good Gerber files.

    The problem is that it takes someone an hour to make a board, or a
    LOT of money to buy a machine to do it faster.

    The cheapest way is to home brew, but the results are often less than
    desirable the first few times out.
