I checked out your site and what you've done with the Pulsar stuff is
very encouraging! I'm working on my first mostly-SMT board but because
of my past experience I figured I would have to have all of the
prototypes made rather than whip 'em up myself. If what you've done
with the Pulsar system is representative of what it can do then the
toner transfer technique has definitely come a long way since I last
tried it!

BTW - do you have to run the boards through more than once? Preheat
them at all? Anything special? Pulsar's website is kind of sparse on
the details on using the laminator and I know from experience that the
devil is in the details when it comes to this stuff.
