Homebrew PCBs

I don't want a flame war here, but I've got a board in my hand, 
direct from my modified laser printer, that says you are wrong. When 
the boards come out of my laser printer the toner is quite solidly 
attached to the copper. You can turn the board over and tap it or 
blow on it strongly without disturbing the toner.

Interestingly, double clad boards are easier to do than single sided 
ones. It seems to require a much higher voltage to charge a board 
that does not have copper touching the transfer roller.
