First I am just a newbie but this is what I use:

Printer: Brother HL-2170W

Transfer Medium: Reynolds parchment paper

Transfer Fixative: Blair Spray Damar Varnish

Once I have the design in the computer like I like it and the right size I print it on normal printing paper. Then I cut a piece of parchment paper with a good margin around the design. I then tape the parchment paper over the design of the previously printed paper. I only tape the entire leading edge. (Sometimes it would jam if i tape the opposite edge.)

Note: On my printer it doesn’t mater what side of the parchment paper I print to, some other printers I tried it would only print good on the rougher side of the parchment paper

Next I prepare the metal by cleaning it with alcohol. Then I spray a real light coat of Blair Spray Damar Varnish and let it set for about 30 sec. Then put the piece of parchment paper printed side down and rub with burnisher. I found it helps to tape an edge so you can pull up the paper and see what areas might still need rubbing.

After the transfer is complete I put another light coat of Blair Spray Damar Varnish over it and let is set for 20 min.

This system has worked really well for me.
I can post pictures of the steps if it will help someone.
