To get more contrast you may use two foils. Also there are foils
made for this purpose, I think in Europe Farnell retails some.
I have laser printer only in office and ink jet at home,
but that's almost useless. It could be possible to print (/w ij)
on thin paper and make it transparent with (olive) oil
and then exposure with UV, but it may be quite desperate
action after all. I think that there are also different kind
of laser printer color brands, the oldest and most environmental
hostile and toxic are supposed to be the best (let's destroy the 
nature!).

opaque enough to prevent any UV getting through the image.

I have that problem with my Laserjet IIIP.  Large foil areas usually don't
print dense enough, so sometimes I fill in and darken these areas with a
Sharpie permanent marker pen.
