No you are not missing something. except that you shouldn't peel the paper
if you have adhesion problems.
Let it soak well (scratch the surface to make that faster) and then peel
the main bulk off, but LEAVE the last
layer. rub that with your fingers or rubber.
you can also rub away the whole paper, circular motions starting center
work best. "roll" it off.

Mike is a notorious nay-sayer, ignore him ;-). If we would listen to him
nobody would ever have tried
toner transfer in the first place, or making PCBs at home.
