Hi Jestine,
I have made many hundreds PC Boards, with proper photo resist,as I have been in development lab. even wit silk screening process, also with Positive 20 system. Also seen this process on interned. and have try it.
But to be honest, is takes lots of time, and results are very poor.
I would not recomend someone who is not experienced to rely on it.
better for begginer to use Positive 20 process. If anybody is interested for details, you have my Email address.
Regards George

Thank you for the good article Yi Tang. The procedure was known to me. But because I do not have (or want=> toner environment issues) a laser printer, it will not be a useful procedure for me. Add up the fact that no stores supply any boards either (a lot of shops and stores simply have gone). And using Ferric Chloride (also known as Iron III Chloride) is something I won't be using anymore either. The dissolved copper is an environmental problem, and you can't just pour it down the drain (legally) -- you're supposed to take it to a hazardous waste facility. And storing such agressive fluids at home is not smart either.
It can be read in this good article : http://www.instructables.com/id/Stop-using-Ferric-Chloride-etchant!--A-better-etc/
According to this article you can make a better etchant yourself with products you can buy at every drugstore. AND the product is fast etching AND can be re-used over and over again after it accumulates copper in its chemical solution. And the article also explains in great detail how this works. I hope that this helps a bit from polluting the world.
