I would like to try the cold method but have not had any luck, anywhere, finding ethyl alcohol. Only isopropyl.
I suspect toner is definitely a problem here. I’m using ‘compatible’ cartridges, so that only seems logical.

Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] First attempt at toner transfer
Almost all the problems I had with using the toner transfer method with a laminator was because of the toner.
With the original toner from two different printer brands worked well, but replacement toner cartridges did not work very well or not at all. One thing I found that helped was to run the blank board through several times to get it heated before I applied the paper with the image to be transferred. Once I switched to the cold method, I have not had a problem using any type of toner.
