Subject: Success Finally!

I have chipping away at this for a little while and to be honest I was
pretty much ready to chuck in the towel. Until I noticed on this group
the use of glossy paper.

I have been using OHPS but found I had to iron on about 4 before I had
an adequate result. Well today I was fumbling in the paper room at
work and found some glossy paper. So I thought 'last chance', and what
do ya know 100% on ONE attempt!

I am using a Brother HL-2040 if you have one of these check your
advanced settings as you can increase the density (toner amount) here
and also run 'Thicker paper' setting.

I am not sure what the paper is called but if you go to the local copy
shop and ask for a couple of sheets of glossy paper you should be sweet.

Also just used a household iron for a fraction of the time also.

Thanks for a great group!
