I run it through once with a carrier to tack the paper down. Then run 
it through a couple of more times without the carrier to completely 
melt the toner.
  Smudging has not been a problem. The paper itself seems to act as a 
buffer to keep the toner from smearing.

  Note that you need to use a carrier for very small boards, else 
they'll get stuck inside of laminators where the rollers are too far 
apart to pull the board completely through..
