Default Printed circuit board fabrication

You people have given me great advice before (grovel, grovel) so here I am
asking for some more.

I've made PCBs before but always as one-off projects using transfers and
etch resist pens. But I need to produce 50-60 now !

My requirements are very modest...single sided, a couple of 14 pin DILs
and a few other components, size around 50mm x 100mm.

Does anybody know of a reasonably priced outfit who can supply small PCBs
? Artwork would be supplied by me. In what form is this normally required
?

Or should I go ahead get a photoresist kit and supplies ? I'm starting
from scratch here with a few working prototypes on veroboard.


I had a PCB made up a few years back. Normally I build everything on
veroboard, but this particular job required several multi-legged surface
mount chips and there was no way I was going to be able to do that on
veroboard, nor was I going to be able to achieve anything approaching the
required accuracy with a DIY PCB. The company I found had their own PCB
design software that could be downloaded from their website. After designing
the board I uploaded the design and pretty soon afterwards the PCBs arrived
in the post. I can't at the moment remember the name of the company or how
much it cost, but it did seem good value at the time.
