Shannon is right, of course. There's two sides to the adhesion problem
and surface characteristics of the paper will also affect how well the
melted resin will bond to the paper.

Adhesion of photocopier (or laser printer) toner is influenced by
qualities of the paper as well as qualities of the machine or toner.
Toner just doesn't adhere well to some papers. When we prepare an
exhibit we've found we have to test the paper we want to use first. The
tape-pull test cited in another post is useful for this.
