Subject: Have you ever had PCB material that simply will not accept a toner transfer?

I am having the most difficult time trying to do toner transfer on
some circuit boards. I have tried 15 different papers including a new
batch of Pulsar paper which isn't working either. I changed out the
toner cartridge on the printer. I have tried about 15 different
settings on my iron for different temps. I tried 3 different laser
printers (all that I have). I just cannot get toner to stick to the
boards.
I have tried scotch bright, 400 grit paper, 600 grit paper, 1000 grit
paper, and 1200 grit paper. I clean very thoroughly with acetone, I
don't touch the copper after cleaning, I don't touch the paper after
printing.
I am stumped and getting really frustrated - grrrrrr.
Sorry, had to vent.
