No the board contracts fast and the paper does not.....
Thats what was happening to me, but instead of a bubble I was getting
corners popping up.

Yes I was using kodak, I got the toner to stick very well to the
board, and the paper, but the 'gloss' from the paper was sticking big
time to the board etc and if you tried to peel it off it brought the
toner with it.

I think the summation of this is kodak paper is brilliant, but useless
for toner transfer.....
