I have read that Toner Darkener is basically a matt clear acrylic, or even hair spray, from this thread...

" you can spray the laser output with Krylon Matte Finish Acrylic and if you find that still too costly, you can purchase AquaNet Hair Spray that has been relabeled as a "commercial" toner darkener."

I tried some clear acrylic rattle can from bunnings a few weeks ago, it did make it darker, but I don't know if it's worth the trouble (I didn't actually try exposing it yet).
