8mils is about the max thickness the printers will take and it has to be flexible. I put a strip of kapton across the leading edge so that the sharp edge doesn't bind in the path. You may be able to hack the paper path to make it straighter, but I think it would end up being a paper drive/handling problem as the image is still transfered from a drum and the path currently does not appear linear. I use spray adhesive to laminate the pcb layers using pins and alignment holes as they approach each other. I'm looking for a lamination heat activate adhesive as an alternative. I think Volkan's ( great!! ) methods are best for stock that is in-flexible and I'm pursues that avenue also. -Lee Studley
