well, they DO apply some oxyde coating to the "glue side".

But as said before, you should not experience adhereing problems if you
clean the boards properly and have a suitable toner/pressure/heat 
combination.

For me the main limitation of toner transfer is the resolution of my old 
printer,
and the really annoying prolems with broader traces / big areas.


tomorrow i will go and fetch this inkjet printer.
i will tell you about any results.
