Hi,

I've had some success with it using a techno 1910 laminator, and Kodak
Ultima picture paper. Here's a photo.

I have had some bad transfers as well, and haven't quite figured out
what the dependent variables are. Making sure the board is clean and
dry beforehand helps, and using several passes through the laminator
helps. I do believe that the Brother's toner requires a higher
temperature to bond to the paper. However, with more passes through
the laminator, the paper sticks to the board. Too few passes and the
toner doesn't stick.

But, good results are definitely possible.

Kevin
