Homebrew PCBs

I just had another look at the awesome results Pedro was getting 
from his process.  In digging up his messages, he said he used pages 
from Time magazine, and a DSC laminator.  I couldn't believe it!  So 
simple, and yet so effective.  Pedro, I wrote you a mail to your 
Yahoo address if you're reading this asking more about it :).  Does 
anybody else use a laminator, or magazine pages for that matter?  Is 
there something special about Time that makes it better?  I tried it 
with an issue of Design magazine and an iron, and I got okay results 
right from the start.  I keep having a problem though.  When I use 
heavy pressure, I get all the pattern transfered, but I end up 
getting smashed areas, where fine lines and text gets squashed out 
further than intended.  When I use light to moderate pressure, I get 
nice crisp fine lines, but some large areas have holes (little spots 
where the toner doesn't transfer).  Does anybody have any 
suggestions?  The laminator seems like a novel idea.  I searched for 
DSC on EBay, but couldn't find one.  Anybody else use one?
