The thing I have found best for doing toner transfer with a laminator is to run the board through the laminator 3  or so times to preheat it.   Then put on the paper and run it through 6 times to transfer to the board.  This usually works well for me. 
I think that with the couple experiments I tried with the cold transfer method, I was getting better results, and will switch to that for future boards.
Also look at some of the advanced printer settings.  I have one that is called 'reduce paper curl'  this appears to lower the fuser temperature so the toner is not bonded to the paper as well.  It seems to help getting a cleaner transfer.
