Homebrew PCBs

I'll post just once and reply to all...
first to stefan:
I found one dealer who should have this HP high gloss laser paper. 
It's just...why is always the best and most expensive ?it only comes 
in 200 sheets and costs about 56 euro...i'll go and ask them if they 
have it.

i have one old iron which doesn't have steam, but i guess i'll 
better check out if it has level surface...otherwise aluminium plate 
is a good solution.

i'll try out transparency with cloth protection, as you suggested 
and see the results. it's just... Murphy has made sure that (again) 
i have plenty of laser transparencies, but i'm out of inkjet 
ones...so, out to store you go...

i'll try to get some cheaper version of that famous HP...from posted 
it's just too good to be true. If i get it and get some results, i 
will post them, too.
