                  No I do not !   I am very satisfied with this paper.. You still have to inspect the board 

any way but on a large board I only have to touch up a couple of spots. But that is due

 to me getting a little aggressive when I have paper to remove between traces when traces are very close together.

I did two 6.5 x 4.5 ich boards with many traces and pads that came out virtually perfect..



I use a GBC H535 laminator that I recently got at a bargain on eBay for less than $100 with shipping 

and I get very good results on large boards 1/16 thick with no modifications. .



my printer is a used HP 2100 that I found on line from a office near my job for $25..  This

 paper works great with a iorn on small boards.. I also found heating boards with a iron and using a 

wall paper seamer roller from home depot to apply preasure works quite well also, if you have to use an iron.



my iron is a el-cheapo dry iron I found in a variety store for $10!(It has no hole in the sole plate!)



This paper is only $13 for 300 sheets.
