If it turns out that no laser printers will work any more, I don't think it matters. The photoresist method will still work with any laser printer, resist film is cheap from eBay and you can use your existing laminator to apply it.
And of course there is always the option to use inkjets with direct printing as well.
Besides, I wouldn't call PnP Blue cheap to begin with anyway.....

The manufacturer has acknowledged this only for Brother lasers, but I think it extends to most including the Samsung brand. This is a major issue, and the PnP Blue team suggest using a heat press rather than the laminator. The heat press runs $359, which negates the whole cheap thing, and anyhow does not work any better in my opinion. So unless someone in this group knows where to self fill low temperature melting toner, the PnP Blue process is doomed.
