I started with the toner transfer method and after getting ugly ground planes, no matter what I did, I decided to up my game and see how I could improve. The dry film photoresist method is great!
Stencil:
Etch-resist:
Etchant:
Here it really is up to you. I use the hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) with hydrogen peroxide method, but any method will work fine. Be careful that your etchant isn't too strong and will somehow inadvertently strip off your photo resistive etch-resist!
I hope I didn't forget anything...

Glass plate, 200mm, ferrofluid, glass clamp, EL Tape, Transparency film.
This is just how I'd build it - though, 0.2mm film may be too thick.
If the transparency layer leave too thick a film of ferrofluid, my second thought:
Also, if you don't like cutting curves, there's no reason you couldn't do this with square or rectangular glass; you just wouldn't get consistent illumination along a given circumference. If I build this successfully, and proceed to design a segment display, I'm going to almost certainly use rectangular glass for it.
Hi, Acetate sheets you'll likely find in the kitchen department for chocolate making. The office versions are usually called Transparency Film. There are two types that I know of, the transparency film for printers and the ones that say 'not for use in printers' and they direct the user to special markers that can be cleaned off easily.
The former, printer version is like this.
The latter, writing and drawing version is like this.
Sorry, I don't know what they're like though. Never tried.
Good luck :)
Hmm well I use an HP Laserjet printer, color ink, and this transparency paper. So far I have had only success. The images come out crisp and in color. They are all slightly see through when held up to light but its not bad at all. The larger minis tend to bend over because it isn't the must sturdy paper ever, but I havn't had a single one get bent in any corners or anything yet.
I've used spray adhesive, but I used it with [this]9https://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Printer-Copier-Transparency-Sheets/dp/B0040YC7FI/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1481164639&sr=8-3-spell&keywords=trasnsparency+sheets0 as my stencil.
As long as you LIGHTLY spray the adhesive on it works fine. Spray too much and it's a gigantic PITA. I'd suggest practicing with the spray before doing your project.
