I would assume this is from surface tension and the heat does most of 
the spreading.

I have had limited success with a clothes iron and am still looking 
for an easy way.  

I found a paper that just barely holds the toner from the printer so 
my next attempt will be with that to see how the paper holds up under
heat.
