For the simple fact that many of us very successfully use other paper
and different methods of fusing toner to copper. Speaking just for
myself, I dont like to hear xxx is the only thing you need to know,
especially when I have a different technique that works quite well.
Many of us use a good quality ink jet paper with excellent results.
You cant beat the cost of $0.01 per sheet. It sure makes it easy to
experiment at a very low cost. Others use magazine paper to good
effect (though I dont like it because of "blooming"). Others use
glossy or photo paper. The reality is that there are a suprising
number of papers that work with somewhat different techniques.
Frankly, I think any paper sold for toner transfer is grossly over
priced.
There are several ways to fuse the toner to copper. Irons or
homebrew laser printer fusers are successfuly used. I've toyed with
the idea of baking two steel plates that sandwitch the paper/board
assembly in the oven.
