heat with magazine paper to see if it won't spread.
But I get no spread on the same heat setting with
the photo paper. Perhaps it's because the thicker
photo paper transfers heat more slowly?
The photo paper however leaves a thin film of gunk
on the board that is hard to remove. But then again
so is the Samsung toner. :-)
