I'm still learning ... if you have a good "rip-off" paper why not say 
the make and source so I can have the same results ... I have used some 
commercial  image transfer paper and the results was not remarkable ... 
I have also pulled the paper off when it is still hot (about 30 seconds 
after transfer) ... this leaves half the toner on the paper and pin 
holes are a problem ... a very thin coated paper used in magazines I 
think would be near "rip-off" but I have not found any where I shop ...
