The free lite version only supports small PCBs

True, this would be a limitation to people who cant afford it.

the GUI is not at all appealing

Yes, I totally agree. Its not the most intuative software..but once you get used to its not problem at all.

Not bad for a free program... very intuitive as well.

is there a way to print black and white on pcb123?

(for photoetching needs?)

i wish to avoid the photoshop route.

(the pads come out grey and dithered on my laser printer)

Try turning up contrast or converting the image to black and white.

Also use the printing options for your printer to select maximum quality and ink usage.
