 First try: Printed a sample from some packages example, magazine paper, HP P1102W Laser printer. Not too bad, did not fuse well to board though.

I started with a iron but very quickly changed to a laminator..  (a used,  ancient, all metal GBC laminator from eBay)

I get good results up to 150mm wide, any wider and the centre tends not to stick as well due to less pressure on the rollers



 IS 1 mm THE RIGHT SIZE FOR PC BOARDS GENERAL USE?

I use 0.8mm solid carbide drills in a CNC micro mill at about 20 holes per minute...
I can drill faster (about 40 holes per minute manually with a proxxon mini drill suspended from a pulley with a counterweight,
I'm just upgrading my micro mill controller so i can hit 60 holes per minute  ..  slow by commercial standards, but fast enough for me..

Bigger holes I redrill manually with the proxxon..
