No, I meant the Xerox waterproof paper that I've been experimenting with.

The brass is thin enough to run through the printer but I'm very wary
of using my new R220 because it's a discontinued model. I bought one
spare, but since I use the printers for heavy duty printing (using
refill kits) and the new Epsons can't be refilled (easily, anyway), I
don't want to break it...

You really have to watch the undercutting on the brass. Leaving it in
the etchant too long will definitely have a bad effect on the accuracy.
