I just follow the method shown on the YouTube video.
I like the toner transfer method because it seems that I can be very slopply in using it and
still get consistent results.
I don't own a laser printer, so all of my copies are made by a local copy shop, and I
assume that they always use the same type of toner in their machines.
I had good results from their copes when I used the hot transfer method,
but now I use cold.
I don't make many boards per month, and most of them are less than 4 x 5 inches, so cold transfer is ideal for me.

That’s interesting,
Did you use that with Acetone?
Can you please give us the mixture Ratio
and the type of printer / cartridge
and if it was original equipmentmanufacture or not?

I have had good results with 70%iso-alcohol from Walmart.
The alcohol acts as a cleaner only, So,most types will serve this purpose.
The actual "transfer" medium isthe other ingredient.
Good Luck
