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.
