Greetings. Out of a lack of interesting things to do, I attempted TT I tried about 7 different papers I had laying around, and came across something that is working really well. Cannon HR-101 High resolution inkjet paper, only catch is, it works best if printed on the wrong side, as the good side has a plasticy coating, that tends to stick to the board as well as the toner. When used backwards, it's kind of gripy to the laminator or iron base, but this seems to subside rather quickly, a quick dip in cool water, and the plastic film peels off in one piece, and the rest of the paper backing washes off quite easily. Using a clinky ole IBM 4019 (ebay for $25, at 300dpi, I'm printing .016 traces from eagle, and they are coming out solid, better than I could ever hope for printing film from this printer. I have an Optra R+ with 64M (6X9 at 1200dpi) I usually use for film, but I got this ebay deal - for a couple of reasons, It has a straight thru manaul feed, I was going to attempt to feed a board directly thu- but I'm not going to try that till the toner is near gone, way I see it It'll either work, or totally fudge the drum (in this case it's in the tonar cartridge and is replaced with a new one (like most laser printers) ot all the toner will wind up on the fusers brush.
