I'd second John's thoughts. If I needed a quantity of boards or boards on a regular basis then I too would consider getting them made but for the odd one-offs I need, it is more convenient to make my own either by UV or by toner transfer.

The paper that should NOT be used in a laser printer is the COATED glossy ink-jet type. Its the coating that melts and sticks, ruining the drum- or so I'm told, having never tried it myself for obvious reasons. I think normal magazine paper should be fine, semi-glassy or matt.
