After many tries, this is what works best for ∗∗ME∗∗

Paper: JetPrintPhoto Multi-Project Photo Paper (International Paper,
Item #07033-0)

Etchant: I use 2 parts hydrogen peroxide, 1 part muriatic acid. This
is a VERY strong mixture. Make sure you do this with PLENTY of
ventilation, if possible outside.

I found the best temperature for toner transfer to be around 300F.
Make sure you really clean your board. I use a green pad with a few
drops dish soap.

Dont forget to use proper safety equipment. Nobody has ever been hurt
by a pair of chemical gloves and a face shield.

Again, your mileage may vary. I have the advantage of a clamshell heat
press that can be set for a specific temperature and presure.
