when i align the two sheets, put PCB in, and laminate, it will be offset.
HOWEVER, when i put the two aligned pieces into a folded-over sheet of  
thin cardboard/thick paper, hold the stack together at the folded edge  
(leave layout paper a bit longer at this edge), insert PCB, laminate, no  
offset.

When you make a single sided board, with one side copper and one side  
component legend in one go, do mind the copper side and put it towards the  
traces, it is not clever to etch the component legend.
