Porosity isn't a problem unless you're trying to transfer every tiny
detail.

OK, but I couldn't get any combination of heat and pressure to transfer
toner from paper to machined aluminum surfaces, while solvents transferred
it quite easily and durably. Just my casual experiments; I don't
understand why.

My experience trying to transfer to metal hasn't been very good
either. That's why I was interested in your suggestion to try acetone.
