I found that while the Epson paper does indeed work very well, the
green Pulsar film doesn't stick to the toner if you transfer the toner
using Epson paper or any other paper with clay content, such as
magazine paper. (This has been mentioned in the past on this list but
I think only once, based on my searching of the messages.)

I etched my first succeful board last weekend using the Epson paper,
no green film, and the sponge technique. It took a little longer than
I expected for the board to etch, but I think that was because the
FeCl was somewhat colder than it ideally could have been.
