Hrm.. there is a pattern developing here. I get decent
results from my laser printer - which happens to be an
old HP Laserjet //. Many of the newer laser printers
utilize a toner which melts at lower temperatures, and
so it could very well be possible that older laser printers,
with their high temp toners, do a better job fusing to transparencies.
