Yup, confirmed.

It now takes a complete sheet to make a double-sided PCB; 1/2 sheet per
side. I used to be able to cut to exact size and "piggy-back" the older
white sheet onto ordinary paper. I can't do that any more, it jams, I'm
forced to pass the new blue sheet alone. And I can't cut it down to
narrower strips 'cause my printer needs a minimum length of paper to bridge
between the sets of drive rollers.

The increase in thickness also means standard PCB is now out of the question
through the laminator. I also had 2 incomplete transfers out of 3, with
problems at all stages of the process. I'm very disappointed with this new
& improved stuff also. Time and costs have gone up, inconsistent results as
well as new problems throughout the process.

The direct-printing process has just taken a new priority on my TO DO list.
I was quite happy using the Pulsar material but this is ridiculous.
