Dave,
The metal I fuse the toner to is preprinted with powder coat.
The final process I settled on uses plain paper. Previously I did use parchment paper which is used for baking. It is a tough paper coated with silicone.

Numerous times I have come very close to an answer but one variable was wrong. Each time a new option shows up, like your use of the laminator and freezer, it is a new "wild card" in the deck. Only by going back to my first failed experiments with this new wild card was I able to find the answer I wanted.
