Tom was asking for efficiently making a big number of boards, may i
suggest a big
fuser out of a copier? they are at least double the size of a laser
printer and work very
well. you can panelize the boards to speed things up.
On the other hand, IMO toner transfer is not well suited for high
quantities.
