Yeah, when I first found out about this toner transfer thing, I started
a file with all the conflicting advice on the web, preheat or don't
preheat board, magazine, Gootee or dextrin coated paper, or
transparencies, iron flat or on edge, high or low pressure, 2 minutes or
5, and on and on.

The internet is like a Magic 8 Ball. All the answers are there, you just
have to figure out which ones are RIGHT answers.
