HI Don
The reason some of the people here are getting repeatable good results and others like yourself not so good is a lot to do with the type Toner your particular printer uses
I use the Samsung ML1680 which is a monochrome laser machine, now using third party Toner which works identical to the original and still gives me good repeatable transfer for through hole PCBs.
If I needed surface mount or dual trace I would then consider other options because I have better things to do than wasting time on something that may or may not fit the purpose.

All the best boys and girls

I'm thinking to leave the group as I never ever used toner transfer after I tried it.
 
I use presensitsed boards.

Easy peasy and not so overthunk.
