Hi Robert, I found that the "New and Improved" stuff is horrid by
comparison to the original. I went through two packages before
getting a good transfer. I emailed back and forth with the fellow
at Pulsar and also asked for replacement material. At that point,
the person stopped communicating with me. As far as I am concerned,
I won't buy anything else with their name on it.
I am not a happy camper with regard to their products
