Homebrew PCBs

I tried the Epson glossy photo paper with my ML-2010 printer.  It takes the
printed image beautifully but the toner doesn't transfer to the copper very
well.  I put a piece of paper towel over it so that the iron wouldn't stick
and then heated it several minutes with the iron.  I let it cool and then
soaked it in hot water and about half of the traces didn't stick to the
copper.  I had scoured the board with a Scotchbrite pad and then rubbed it
thoroughly with acetone.  Should I have done something else to prepare the
board?  Can anyone see anything that I did wrong?  What procedure do you
follow to make the Epson paper "work like a charm"?
