I use Dyna Art. The paper just floats off in mildly warm water after 
ironing. IIRC, this paper is coated with a a layer of sugar, so that 
might be the secret.

Perhaps you could experiment by spraying your paper with a solution of 
sugar in water, and letting it dry before using it.

There is a way in my printer software (I have a Panasonic KXP-6500) to 
specify greater toner density. I'd call HP printer support and ask 
them if this is possible with your machine. The other option is to 
look for denser toner. I understand it is made, apparently for use 
in printing graphics, but I don't know where to look for it. There are 
lots of toner supply companies on the net and elsewhere. Or perhaps a 
copy house which also does laser printing could tell you.
