If you are interested in the more economical version, this is it:

Just a transistor, and a few resistors, and not a line of code in sight.

It uses the thermistor integral to the fuser unit, but a suitable
thermistor can be added to any laminator.

Initially I just threw this together in a junction box to try toner
transfer, but it works so well I never changed it.
(These days i would just cough up the $30 or less for an industrial
controller from ebay).
