Subject: Re: can anybody post a pic?

I see it now. And it is so much better than I can get from my samsung. I do shake the cartridge everytime before I do a series of prints although I'm still using the cartridge that came with the printer. Thanks for posting.

You can see the thin toner on the parchment. I am not sure why, the parchment does not get covered with toner as good as normal paper. The parchment paper at 30X shows the thin toner just like the transferred pic.

I dont think trying other types of paper would work, all the samsung toner DOES get transfered to my boards but even with 'toner save mode' set to OFF there's just too many tiny holes. I'm using a laminator capable of 190 Centigrade (374F?) and no good. I even tried ironing it with a higher temp, no good either. I also tried thing with my sister's Canon - it was horrible. So HP p1006 users a little assist before I go for it? Thanks.
