We probably need just a few more details to help guess at what is 
causing the problems.  What are you using to fuse the toner to the 
copper?  I use a cheap paper laminator that helps to keep the heat 
and pressure consistant.  It was hit and miss with the clothes iron I 
used before.

Some things to check:  If I don't tack down the toner right off the 
bat (especially on 2 sided boards), the paper moves and I get partial 
drop out and the lines can look like they jag a bit when the toner is 
done fusing.  Another variable is the paper carrier.  I use magazine 
stock and sometimes I'll get sheets that use a bit more recycled 
paper pulp in the mix and the result can look a bit fuzzy because the 
paper isn't all that flat.  If I make certain I have plenty of good 
quality (high clay content)paper you should be OK on that part.

I've got a short write up on what I do at:
