The print to paper seems good. It looks solid and dense.

Nope. This is when the gaps happen, the paper lifts away while still
holding tiny bits of traces. I used to get traces that didn't fuse
to either the board or paper after transfer and would float in the
water, but I don't see that much anymore.

I have no idea what you mean by that.
I was looking at Pulsar's webpage and I noticed that in their tips and
tricks page they list my printer as one of about 5 which they have had
reports of not working. I'm using a Brother HL-2040.
