I don't have any actual experience with Lazertran, but got A4 color /
A3 B/W laser ready when needed.

Today I'd try using direct toner transfer for panel graphics too. The
cheap transparencies I have don't really lend themselves to transfers
(those disform even on printing and are labelled as suitable for laser
printing, huh?) , but the ones which I had earlier (heavier stock)
were pretty good at least for PCBs.

Another technique which I'm tempted to try is ecthing aluminum using
toner mask / laquer for one of pieces.
