Etching brass | Model Engineer : vimarsana.com

I would like to put a maker s mark on a project in brass. I haven t got engraving equipment or skills, so I m thinking about etching.
I ve had a look around on t internet and the tutorials I ve seen start with the assumption that the tutee has a laser printer. It seems that laser toner can be transferred to the the work to make the mask. But I haven t got a laser printer - just an inkjet.
Another possibility would be using photo resist, but I m having a hard time trying to understand what equipment I would need to do this. There are suppliers of photoresist film on eBay, but they don t give info on how to expose/develop (or even if it s positive or negative), so I m a bit in the dark. Does one need a UV lamp? If so, what sort? Could I get away with burning a few welding sticks? They put out a fair bit of 300-400nm radiation.
