Mike - you asked if the modified laminator also lets you do thinner
and thicker boards.
I have some doublesided PCB material which is 12 thousandths of an
inch thick. For comparison's sake, credit cards are typically 30 thou.
So this material is quite thin.
I just ran it through the laminator with some dyna-art (now pulsar)
paper with a laser printed PCB pattern. It came through printed onto
the PCB just fine, same as with thicker boards.
So the answer is yes, the modifed laminator does both thick and thin
boards. Nifty, eh?
