Hi Matthew, I've been using the ML-2010 (an earlier model) for a couple of years now. It works fine for TT. These newer laser printers have a toner that requires a much higher melting point and require more heat to transfer the image to the pcb. It's not a problem is you are areawre of it ahead of time. It just means a few more passes through the laminator or time woth an iron. Or if you've converted a laser printer to a laminator ala Steven, a little slower speed.
