I tried the laser printer decal stock on two different HP LaserJets here at work, and both were a total washout. I'd read that the paper just won't work with certain laser printers, and these two HP's must be among those. Both jammed up at the output and ruined a sheet of decal paper. Hey, you don't know until you try! Live & learn....
Anyway, I just went ahead and printed the Fuzz Farm full-face decal to inkjet decal stock on my trusty Epson Stylus Photo 750 color printer at home and got it clearcoated last night. I'll do the cutout, soak & application this evening. Hope to have a photo of the finished pedal to post here in a couple of days....

OK, here's a pic of the finished pedal. Came out pretty well, but there's one minor error that I didn't catch & correct in my "dry run" print--the horizontal alignment on the "Ge" and "Si" labels for the two toggle switches is offset to the left a bit. Not too bad, and the labels are still readable, but that's something I would correct if I built another one of these some time. BTW, those silvery-white spots are light reflections from the camera flash, not anything on the surface of the pedal:
