Hi
No, just scrub it with a soft brush or a no-sratch pad, it will be fine.

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.
