Patrick,
since i was not knighted (yet ;-) ) you might do away with the Sir if you
want ;-)
The paper is this one, right?

It has 175g/m2, that is very heavy. With my printer this might not get
enough toner.
I don't think the registration of my printer is good enough to print
mutiple times.
I'm sure i can't get this HP paper here, because they will not sell the
letter sized version. It is quite possible the very same paper is sold
here in A4 but the part number will be different and it is hard to be
certain if it is the same paper. I'll look again next time i'm in a store
with lots of paper.
How hard was this paper to soak off?
I read in the database section - i quote:

Incredible - this paper worked exactly how I always imagined toner
transfer to work. Passed thru the laminator a few times (5 to be safe),
quick cold water rinse, then left in warm water. 5-10 minutes later, the
paper was only held down by the tape I had used to secure it.

If anyone has this paper, i would be very grateful for a sheet or two per
mail, i will be happy to refund your cost via paypal.
I'm always looking for a better paper than i already have, that would need
to be released very easily. I can do that with silicone paper, but the
problem is i get pinholes and through-etching with that so i can only use
it for component legend. I don't know why that is.
About paint, it might be OK for very simple PCBs, but you will soon wish
to use a software made for PCB layout, because it makes things much easier
as circuits get complicated.
