I find the same, solder-side doesn't want mirroring when output, however
the component side does. Auto-mirror has this backwards I think,
producing output which looks like the finished copper. Perhaps this is
good to review what your copper will look like on paper.

When doing toner transfer, or UV exposure, you want the inverse of what
auto-mirror offers. (I'd presumed combining Mirror and Auto-Mirror might
have this effect but it does not).

Thanks,
