Alan,

Thanks! Yes it was I recall. I think he was on a LaserJet4. I remember 
looking at toner and I think the 3&4 had the same thing. Looks like 
the 5&6 share a cart too. I'm not sure if they would use the same 
stuff inside or not, but mine seems to do well with whatever is in 
there. I think this one even does better with a slightly lighter 
contrast. Luckily, the thick wide areas are the main things I usually 
had trouble with on toner transfers and they were the easiest to touch 
up if necessary. I'm planning to start cutting back on those anyway 
and just masking the large spots with marker or doing hatch patterns 
when I can.

Was there a particular generic you liked? Ebay had some $22 dollar 
ones in a bright green, blue and white package, but there were also a 
few others.
