I have used PNP Blue for all my boards and when used with a laminator
I have gotten good results.
I have not tried the magazine paper method, but I seem to recall some
issues with dimensions changing with changes in moisture content. The
backing on PNP Blue is plastic and I have had no problems holding
tolerances when doing an LH79520 which has 176 pins and .4mm pitch.
Granted it is expensive, but I just cut off what I need and attach it
to a sheet of paper and run that through the printer. To attch in the
correct place just print on the paper first, then attach the PNP Blue
and run through a second time. I use laser printer compatible labels
for tape.
