What is the secret to successfuk Toner Transfer? I have been
consitently getting only partial transfers.

I have been cleaning the copper as well as I know how. Sanding,
ScotchBrite, and acetone.

A fer days ago I tried some test transfers on 1/16" material. After a
couple good transfers on that material I went to the 1/32" material I
need to use. Now I am only getting between 50% and 75% of the toner
transfered. The part that does transfer is bonding very well.

I read one place to keep the heat on it until the paper appears
scorched. They claimed there was no such thing a too much heat.

My iron is getting very dirty so I am now cleaning it berofe the next
try.
