I have found that a page printed by an HP laserjet can be transfered 
directly too a copper clad board using a household iron set at a very
high temperature. This worked VERY well, even for fine detail work. 
I was routing traces between DIP pins, and they worked great. Just for
kicks, I transfered part of a printed page to a board, and etched it.

As an experiment, I tried using several different plain paper copiers
to do the same trick. I found that the toner in the copiers did not 
transfer nearly as well as the others. I imagine that copiers are all
slightly different. I tried this trick using a Toshiba and a Canon copier,
with very poor results.
