Default Transferring laser pattern to plywood

Hello everyone,

I've read back through a bunch of posts about transferring laser printed tracings to wood, and it seems the most popular way is with heat via an iron.

I've tried my sealing iron set to high as well as "borrowing" the wife's iron set to as hot as it would go, and I can barely get a faint transfer. I've heated it so hot that it started to warp the plywood, but could not get the paper to start turning brown as one post said.

I know there you can use transfer paper, but I'm trying to do something 41 inches long, so transfer paper isn't an option.

Any hints or ideas??

Thanks!!
