Where are you located? I could print a sample and mail to you. I've not had the best of luck with some papers myself, have you tried the HP Presentation paper? (forget the number) or best of all, the Pulsar toner transfer paper. While it "seems" expensive, by reusing each sheet several times, and cutting only paper the size of the board, it looks like it might cost me $15/yr?
Pop me a email and we'll continue this off line, OR hop over to homebrew_PCB group where they talk about PCB a LOT.

Set the printer to print as dark as possible. All the toner gets transferred but just too much pitting :-(. I should have bought the p1006 back then but it was too new and without any feedback at the time. If this printer is really good the samsung is headed to zombieland.
