Me thinks you are trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear in 
addition to chasing the wrong spook.

Unless  you are  trying to do something special, the  P1006 puts down 
enough toner to do the job in a single pass.  I run mine at 600 dpi and 
all the paper types seem to work about as well.

The critical step is transferring the toner to the board.  If none is 
left behind, you have a winner.  More toner on the paper is not going to 
assure a good transfer. How you get a good transfer is the step you have 
to work out yourself.  There are lots of  ideas out there but I have not 
found one that works 100%. I am still trying.

I don't make bad boards but still make a lot of bad transfers. 
Fortunately, they are nearly free and I have lots of time.
