Yes, laser printer. I thought you were familiar with the toner
transfer process.

For anyone who doesn't know: The basic idea behind toner transfer
etch resist is that you either print your PCB pattern from your
laser printer onto a special film or photocopy it onto the special
film/paper. Then you basically iron it onto the bare board and
either peel or soak the film/paper off. The toner melts and sticks
to the copper and resists the acid in the etch bath.

Check the links of the Homebrew_PCBs main page for more suppliers
and info.
