I came across a paper that will allow the toner to stay on it as long 
as you don't breathe too heavy.   It will come off 100% with an iron, 
but the questions I have regarding all the reading I have done is as 
to pressure.

It seems that I always have open specks in the print.  It also seems 
that heat and pressure will force the toner together to cover over 
those little gaps.

A clothes iron will get the heat, but not the pressure.  My next 
attempt is to get it hot and transferred and then use a roller to get 
the pressure.

I can see why the rollers are gettting high praise.
