Is there an easy way to get a duplicate of a PCB printed on the same sheet?
Let me explain:
When I make a printout for PCB manufacturing it often happens that it
isn't black enough for UV light and the I usually just make 2 copies of
the film and position them carefully and used that. But since the film
is quite expensive and the PCB's I make usually are quite small I was
wondering if the was and easy way to make a copy of the PCB on the same
sheet.
Maybe a macro that copies the layout on the board and prints and returns
the board to normal again.

I don't know if it is possible or I just will have to live with the
manual copying I am doing at the moment.

Actually if you look around for a printing shop.
They may be able to make a film a lot cheaper than
the type used for pcb's. Instead of a gerber format
They may use a postscripts or something like that.
