    I recently heard about an etching product, which is a photo polymer
    film made by Dupont called, Imagon .  I believe it is similar or the
    same material used to etch circuit boards.  A fellow artist has used
    this material to etch with ferric chloride on copper,  he is getting
    a very fine etch line.  I was interested in using this material and
    checked on line. I came up with a graphics company that sells this
    material. The web site is:

    I also found a tutorial on how to use the Imagon at this web site: 

    http://www.art.cofa.unsw.edu.au/print/ImagonPage/ImagonNotes.html

    The artist I know has purchased Imagon locally, so you might check
    out graphic companies in your area.  I hope this information helps
    you.
