stevlena, A laserjet printer uses powered toner as a medium that runs thru a fuser to set it. An InkJet uses liquid ink as the medium..

For those that like the iron on method but don't like the iron part of it - Consider getting a laminator!

You have to buy specific ones though, notably ones made by GBC as these are much like a laser printer fuser where the heat is applied to the rollers. Most laminators have heat plates before plain rollers.

I use one sold at Kmart here in aus - costs about $30 and is faaar superior to using a clothes iron.

Hi,

I use the Pulsar toner transfer paper with the GBC laminator. The only problem is for 2.4mm PCB thickness it becomes a pain to get the board through the laminator. I make upto A4 size boards. www.pulsarprofx.com

I got a cheaper alternative toner transfer paper from ebay:

They work great and being thinner than the pulsar paper gives smoother rolls through the laminator. The GREEN TRF from pulsar which seals of the toner is an absolute must if you need quality pcbs and thin lines.
