Andrew, the "Fab-in-a-box" solution does give good results, and if yo purchase it from them, it is EXPENSIVE!!! BUT there are MUCH less expensive ways of going that route. The laminator can be ordered direct from MyBinding for $25 shipped, (used to be the same low/high setting heat laminator, but that version is sold out, so for $25 they only have a high heat version - all that's needed.

The toner transfer paper can be ordered from DigiKey for about $17 shipped, and that is enough paper to make hundreds of boards by reusing the same paper several times - that is my approach. There are other papers that work almost as well that are free - as in magazine paper, OR the well know HP Presentation paper - just a tad harder to get off before etching.

Good luck and have fun.
