Thanks for that. I've made an offer close to the asking price. I'm really hoping it proves better than the iron. What media do you use to transfer the toner? The board I did looked really well and if the layers lined up it would have done but they didn't so that was that. What really peeved my off was the inconsistency in the printing, too difficult to draw in missing tracks I wasted more of the press and peel blue paper than was expected.

Mark,

I'm UK based too. I got lucky with an EBay purchase of a used business grade laminator. It is the same model as this one..

2nd hand it is 60 quid but look up the new price and prepare to be shocked.

The GBC I have is perfect for the job of toner transfer process. Cheap home devices that I've tried don't get hot enough - perhaps if they have a temperature knob that could be turned to full they would catch fire! - With a quality business model that's probably less likely. Mine is very well made and will probably last for years.

Kind regards
