Homebrew PCBs

I've actually thought about this before.  My concern would be that of 
the few old laser printers/copiers that I've taken apart; the fuser 
units used pretty pliable rollers (some kind of teflon coated 
neoprene).  To get a good image takes a bit of pressure as well --the 
laminator I use has pretty rigid rubber rollers.  I'd say give it a 
go and see what happens.  I know of one guy that did this and it 
seemed to work for him --it happened to have hard rubber rollers 
though.  He used light dimmers and ceiling fan controllers for heat 
and feed speed control.  BTW, I do 6-12 passes through the laminator 
typically --no speed control on it -yet.
