Ah, I think I can see the reason for the different methods! When
I do toner transfer with an HP LaserJet 4+, the toner is not
brittle at all, and does not come off easily. I use acetone
(sold in the UK as finger-nail polish remover) and a rag, but
I have to rub quite hard, and it takes some time.

Different toners seem to require different solvents and techniques.
