That is a rather odd surface to use. But worth a try.
Have you tried using the backing? Remove the vinyl, and print onto the slippery side of the backing, then press than onto the PCB.

Surprisingly, it actually worked better than anything I've tried so far in transferring the toner to the pcb, 100% every single time. The only problem I see is that, the toner seems to mash and spread out when it goes through laminator, making the tracks wider with uneven edges. I think because of the compressability of the vinyl, but it could also be the heat making it bleed. I haven't tried using an iron to see if it yields the same results.
