No, just because one is mirrored. Some printers alter the drawing 
scale even it shoudn't. My best results were on Xerox authoadesive
paper, where the paper itself was removed and the toner was 
transferred on the glossy face.

I suggest to keep the temperature as high as possible and put a few 
papers between your iron and the shit to be transferred.
