A little more difficult to remove than the Staples paper (soak
longer, and use a Dobie no-scratch sponge to remove completely) but
makes 99% perfect transfers (only a few very tiny spots that don't
transfer, and only once in awhile.

HP Photo Paper - ∗Laser∗ - Glossy - 7.5 mil - 58 lb

Part # Q6608A
UPC # 8 29160 63872 0

This has the added benefit that it's designed for lasers and is less
likely to flake or leave residue inside that may eventually wreck the
printer.
