   That may not be a bad method at all, something that keeps the toner from 
sticking too well, yet doesn't make the paper surface hard and nonporous and 
smash the toner out in the ironing.  Can't tell well from the pics if all your 
holes were clear or cleared easily, but looks good.  I'll have to try it out 
tonight and make sure there's nothing undesirable vs what I'm doing now.  Free 
paper is highly desirable, even vs just the 50 cents paper I'm using :).  Was 
that turkey gravy or beef to have with your paper?

   And hopefully not leaving stinking gravy bits behind in the printer..
