Don't forget to use both sides!!!! I hope I'm NOT presenting CLTT (color laser toner transfer) as a simple and fool-proof process. If you want a confidence booster, though, do a few mouse pads!
I've spent many years in engineering R&D environments. Failures occur more often than successes. And remember this:

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not "eureka" (I found it!) but "that's funny..."

I got the Alder plaque right the first time and that's the only alder plaque I've done. Send me a description of your results and your process and I'll see if I can see something. Don't be afraid to press for long times 3 or 4 minutes. Most importantly, you want success. Then you can work on cycle time.

license plate....where did you get the image?
CorelDraw! Photos. Thanks to Dave Miller for pointing me in that direction. Disk 2, I think, of V12. They're probably the same or similar in X3 (I haven't looked, yet, since I JUST got X3!!!). I don't think it was in Landscapes, maybe Nature or Natural? There are a whole bunch of photos in there that will work for license plates. It takes a while to go through the photos. At least it does on my slow computer. If you need it in a hurry, I can send it to you on Monday. If you need it today, I can remotely log into my work computer and get it for you. Let me know.

Be careful in cleaning off the toner on a wood plaque with lacquer thinner, there is a good chance that it was finished with lacquer which will also come off with the thinner.

And make sure you take a look at the Sunsets folder on that same disk.
