I run it through once with a carrier to tack the paper down. Then run
it through a couple of more times without the carrier to completely
melt the toner.
Smudging has not been a problem. The paper itself seems to act as a
buffer to keep the toner from smearing.
Note that you need to use a carrier for very small boards, else
they'll get stuck inside of laminators where the rollers are too far
apart to pull the board completely through..
