DEFINITELY!

SMD 1206 to 0603 is no problem, so are standard SMD ICs.
the smaller flatpacks are a problem with 300DPI printers but
are surely possible with 600DPI printers.

10mil is my standard width, my printer can only make 2-point lines
which is 6,66 mil and works also.
In my opinion this is not the limit of TT, much more the limit of my 
printer.

However, i had no good results with a iron and use a fuser now
with very good results.
