[sudo-discuss] wax printer

BTW.  The Thermal press-n-peel transfer toner method works better than
expected on Pyralux using a thermal laminator.  Probably gets down to a
resolution of around .6mm with some pen touch ups.  Remarkably, there is no
instructions about using a laminator for this method, only an iron, which
absolutely does NOT work at well at all.
