Note A: The Epson Glossy had the clearest transfer, but the paper has a coated back that needs to be removed first, then care needs to be taken when rubbing off the remaining paper. If rubbed too hard, the print will rub off.   07/05/07 – Epson has changed the Glossy Photo Paper again and it no longer works.  If you have an older box, it has a young girl wearing a hat.  That one will work.

 

Note B: If the manufacturers change or 'improve' their paper, this may change the results. I have not tested all papers, there are others that may work also.
