Don't forget to try photo-sensitive boards (pre-coated or coat-yourself. This method has been most successful for me. I laser-print onto plain vellum (not clear plastic) and use that as my negative, which works just fine.

Also consider at least demonstrating the silkscreen method. I used this for a production run several years ago, and it worked great. Let me know if I can send you some raw boards for show & tell.

Lastly, don't forget the printed circuit board handbook. I have the 2nd edition; they're up to 4th now. Tremendously useful.
