I had very poor results with an Okidata 400e. Heck, that printer
didn't even adhere the toner to plain paper very well, it was a total
bust doing PCB TT.

Check the Database section of the group.

I tried a Lexmark 4029, with mixed results. However, I think the
cartridge that was in it was a 3rd party refill so not OEM toner. I do
know that before I changed cartridges it had OEM in it and the print
on paper was much denser, but never tried it for toner transfer with
the OEM cartridge. Wish I had, it died and is now in a landfill.
