Default Etching glass?

I recently ran across http://www.glass-etching-kits.com/ and love the
product. But I can't help to think that there is another way to get the
materials that they offer at a sgnificantly lower price. Is there a
company that makes the uv stencil paper? More appropriately, a company
that makes the uv stencil paper that can be done in an ordinary
printer? Thanks for any help!

Default Etching glass?

It appears that this just recently (Nov 2005) hit the market...
the website you are showing most likely is buying (and selling at a
markup) from the manufacturer
which is
http://www.martronics-corporation.com/stencils.html'

they have kits - but the film stencils are sold separately near the
bottom of the page ....
these require both a UV developing source and the "developer"
chemical....
the kits seem a bit high priced considering that nothing extremely
technical is in them (i.e. you could scrounge most of the stuff from
other sources... other than the fancy UV source.)
I think that the UV source appears to be the "investment" item - the
supplies are not horrendously expensive...
