Hmmmm, just tried the Staples inkjet glossy photo paper #471861, mixed
feelings, actually, I hate it. The toner seems to have stuck to the copper
super well, only problem is the paper didn't come off nicely. There's still
at least a 50% thickness, even after I let it soak for a good 2 hours before
peeling.
If the laser variety of paper is even thicker and harder to take off, that
ain't gonna be funny. I see now why we pay more for the Pulsar paper,
excellent results with no fussing around. The paper usually comes off the
toner with less than a minute.
I don't have much choice now but to lightly scrub at this tomorrow, after
letting it soak all night. Somehow I expect the finer traces to take a hit,
I doubt they will hold up. And even if they do somehow stay intact, this is
too much mucking around. At least with the Pulsar paper I know right away
if I messed up, for all I know my alignment might be off again.

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.

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.
