I can get 6 mil with a bit of work and being really careful just
using magazine paper. I have no doubt it is possible with the
specialty papers as claimed. 12 mil doesn't take any real thought
any more; I use 8mil only if I'm in a tight layout --that takes a bit
more care when producing the boards, but is most certainly doable.
30 mil should be cake.

The laminator makes it (at least for me) much easier to get
consistant results when doing toner transfer. You can get a cheaper
laminator if you are willing to do a bit more work. The dynart one
is nice in that you know that particular model works for this
intended purpose; not all laminators work equally well. If you want
to try a cheaper route consult the laminator database and check the
archives for others reviews.
