Have you tried etching too?
Strangely with silicone paper i get "through etching".

In many printers, including mine, the toner will fall off from label
paper, you can use silicone paper then. It peels off just the same, but i
have problems with etching using that. I use it for component legend all
the time though.

It's not a new thing BTW, we have discussed various anti-stick papers
including label paper many times in the past.
