Thermal transfer paper DIY PCB test

Hi!
Some days ago I've got another pretty thing from Aliexpress: thermal transfer paper for PCB DIY.
After making some boards with 0.5mm traces with perfect quality, I decided to test capability of this paper and my printer (HP 1020). Main goal was to create home made PCB with 0.25mm traces and 0402 components =)
So here is a test board after etching in ferric chloride:


Left side: 0.33mm traces with ~0.3mm spacing. Right side: 0.25mm traces, ~0.2mm spacing, one 0603 and two 0402 components.

Let's have a close look (click for large images):



Close to perfect for home DIY! Link to Ali store if you're interested.
