Lowest price I've found is BasicPCB.com They charge $3 per square inch for 2 layers with mask and legend. Minimum is three boards of 1 square inch. So you actually can place a $9 order with them. They are a USA based company. They accept standard Gerber files. This is very imported as a few

There is a free tool (Robot Room Copper Connection) that will take EcpressPCB files and spit Gerber files. It is actually a full fledged PCB design software that seems to be significantly more capable than the ExpressPCB software even though I have not used it as such. Alternately you can send

Dr. Dave, That is NOT true ! I use http://www.futurlec.com/PCBService.shtml to handle the my ExpressPCB actions. They are over in Asia somewhere and have been quite happy with their work. They are a bit cheaper than ExpressPCB themselves. They also will do other PCB programs and Gerber's

Hi Bill: It's their Mini Board Pro service and you get 3 each 2-layer boards each 3.8 x 2.5" with solder mask (great for SMT) and silk screen top side labels for $61. https://www.expresspcb.com/miniboard-pro/ If you get this service some caution is needed regarding the solder mask since it's p
