You really want a new office laser do you?
i mean sending plastic through it ;-) .
No, i know what you mean, had quite a few jams myself...
two things i want to say:
a) you still fuse the toner to the surface you print on with your iron,
so it still has to release it easy.
b) it may be hard to keep the toner from moving while placing it on the
board.
I'm not very sure that it is easier, but please keep experimenting..
I would like to read about more results.
