Just getting started with the toner transfer method.  I found what I consider to be a great transfer paper:


for $1.96/10 sheets, delivered. Prints nicely, perfect release, no soaking at all.


Can you describe that paper, i.e. what kind of coating etc.?


Paper is sort of vellum in texture, yellow in color - on the paper side.  The working side is sort of glossy/waxy, orange in color.  When the toner releases, it leaves an absence of the waxy appearance where the traces were - if that makes sense.  It took the toner very well, and there were no apparent pinholes under 10x magnification.

For $1.95, it's worth experimenting with.  Be aware that delivery takes a while.
