The "Old-style" toner can be transferred with an Iron and the
"New-style" can't ;) Many of the modern laser printers use higher
fusing temperature with toner melting point adjusted to match, which
is then out of the reach for the normal clothes iron. So, personal
experiences are great source of information here, but "low
performance" personal lasers seem to be transfer friendly.
