You are right Andy, I find the dimensions for the track also to be a little thin.
The print is mate for true scale to a PDF printer in the printer setup from Win XP. Here at home I print directly to a laserjet 5si, also in true scale. I mirror the copper, as you might have noticed, for printing on transparent. Then the toner makes direct contact with the copper of the PCB and light will not spill over. But everything is a bit undersized. I used to work with Ultiboard some 10 years back.
