Thanks for all the replies!
What a difference the paper makes, I got the Hammermill "Multi-Project
Photo Paper" from Walmart, it was about $6.50 for 20 sheets. The
transfer process is like wet transfer, like the temporary tattoo things.
I am stunned by how the printed on surface was sort of slippery when it
got wet, and then it just slipped off, leaving the toner behind.
Excellent results, thanks for the help!
