I did try my pro iron after someone suggested it and it helped but I couldn't put enough pressure on the detail because of the large surface area. I had no idea there was so much difference in toner. My laser is a Brother and works great but HP is the only one with enough iron oxide to make iron oxide transfers. Was able to find a used one on amazon at the right price and the cartridges are way cheaper than the new ones; disadvantage is it isn't wireless. Will be interesting to see if there is a difference in regular printouts and if it will do regular transfers better than my Brother
If you print your file, reversed, on a laser printer, you can transfer it with a laundry iron. Most laser toner is designed to melt above 300⁰. HJowever, there is a toner designed to melt at 158⁰.
Or, you can just put water soluble glue on the back of a printout, and glue it.

Thanks Bill. I wasn't familiar with this but googled it and found several brands, not cheap but if it works it sounds good.

Toner melts somewhere between 380 and 410 degrees, they make a transfer paper for toners that releases the dry ink better than normal paper, just can't remember who sells it. Good luck
