I came across a paper that will allow the toner to stay on it as long
as you don't breathe too heavy. It will come off 100% with an iron,
but the questions I have regarding all the reading I have done is as
to pressure.

It seems that I always have open specks in the print. It also seems
that heat and pressure will force the toner together to cover over
those little gaps.

A clothes iron will get the heat, but not the pressure. My next
attempt is to get it hot and transferred and then use a roller to get
the pressure.

I can see why the rollers are gettting high praise.
