The artworks generated should be positive, meaning there should be black where you desire copper to be on the finished board, and blank where you desire no copper.
There are many ways you can generate your artworks. You can use anything from artwork tape to the Windows® Paint program to simple CAD programs. Anything that you can print or copy can be used ...
