I use an HP3150 laserjet at the default "best quality" setting - which I think is 600x600 - using HP micro-fine toner

sand the board with 220 grit from all angles

wash with acetone 4-5 times, until I can wipe it with a paper towl and find no dirt on it

blow any paper/fibers off of the board

iron - set at the high side of polyester, pressing down firmly for 30 sec., then from all angles - 1/2 the time using the edge of the iron

iron for 5 minutes - then press down firmly for about 20 seconds

put in bowl of warm water for 10 seconds, cool water for 5 seconds on the back of the board

peel....

I have gotten nearly perfect results.  It would be perfect except I have missed setps a few times - then had to make minor tweaks with a fine sharpie

I love using PNP - hope this helps!

I have an HP J4680 "Officejet".  Its a fairly new, wireless all-in-one type printer.  I can't for the life of me figure/find out if its a "laser" printer and/or suitable for PNP Blue. 

It's capable of printing on transparencies, I know that much.

If the pages come out warm it's a laser.

If you can't tell open it up so you can see any cartridges or whatever.

If it has little boxes sitting side by side the size of a matchbox up to say just a bit below a lantern battery depending on the size of the printer and the colour, it would be inkjet. If it has long drums or cartridges that are about a page wide, it's a laser. As a general rule.

print out something in all black - throw it under water as soon as it comes out... if it's ink and smears - it won't work. You need the toner to transfer the image

No legal liability at all taken on when saying this.

But to me the only thing that could really go wrong, worst case would be the press and peel jams in the printer or it prints but then won't transfer.
