    Quoted from Gornkleschnitzer:

    So OSHPark lists $5/square inch, 3 copies. Does that mean you get those three copies for that price?

    Yes. 3 copies for $5/square inch.
    I have nothing but glowing reviews for OSHPark. PCBs are top notch. They are fast-ish... and inexpensive.
    The only place "cheaper" is overseas... like SeeedStudio. There they might be cheaper... because you get 10 boards/copies for the price. But they aren't nearly as high quality. And the overseas shipping is really disappointing unless you pay for much more. The other thing Seeed does is allow you to specify the soldermask and silkscreen color. They also do Aluminum PCBs for high power led applications.

    Usually; I do all my prototyping with OSH... then look for a volume PCB assembler/tester to do products for Pinball-Mods.com.

    For my
    Star_Trek Mirror universe boards; prototyping was done for the smaller boards at OSHPark. Then I used SeeedStudio for the "volume" boards because I wanted White PCBs to reflect my LEDs. I also did SeedStudio for the final NIXIE display because again; I could get Black PCBs.
