that's right.
I too had no luck with plain copier paper.
The toner sticks way too good.
also the flat surface of the inkjet paper makes a more even toner layer and
it sticks better to the copper when ironing.
put a lot emphasis on cleaning the pcb.
i think the slightly ruogh surface sandpaper leaves behind is good for 
bonding.


In the end this toner transfer is not only good for making pcbs.
i used it as the topic for a speech today.
It was in a kind of workshop for improving presentation techniques so the 
topic was
free to choose.

@wheedal i did show two of your pictures (the peeling and the one with the 
toner on the copper.)
hope you don't sue me for violating your copyright.. ;-) thanks for making 
them.
