you will probably run into more trouble (uneven pressure and heat) than  
you get advantage over a laminator/fuser.

The thing is, pressure, as in force per area, depends, well, like on area.  
In a fuser/laminator you only have a "line" thus 1-dimensional  
relationship between boardsize and pressure.  In a press you have that  
squared, which could be another problem.
