Your laminator has a lot of heat capacity compared to mine. I use double sided boards that take longer to heat. Although 10 passes might render any differences a mute issue.

My latest board is about 4 x 5. So we have about the same heat load minus one side of copper.

My Model Aviation magazine paper and the Presentation paper I've tried end up about the same quality. The magazine paper dissolves easier since it's so much thinner.

Have you ever tied any Photographic paper?
