2) you keep in mind it's a one-shot-wonder. You
can't print a half-page,
then save the other half-page for later - once it's been heated by the
toner, it's done for. It either gets expensive, or you have to save up your
projects for one go.
Oh yes you can!
1) Print the PCB layout onto a sheet of blank paper
2) Cut a piece of transfer material to the size of the printed layout, plus
about half an inch on each side
3) Use a laser printer label to stick the transfer material onto the paper
4) Load the paper into the printer's manual feeder and reprint the layout
onto it.
That's what I've done with Press-n-Peel and the Staples photo paper (which
used to work until they changed supplier), and it's never done any damage to
my printer. Just make sure you use laser printer labels, not ordinary type-on
/ write-on labels. Unless, that is, you enjoy the idea of removing very
sticky glue from your printer's imaging drum and transfer rollers...
