I've seen the similar problem with other photo papers too. Since i
used a laminator set at a high heat setting, I think the coating on
the photo paper fused to the copper. The trick is to get the
temp/pressure to the point where the toner only will stick.
One thing that is very obvious is that small differences will create
major problems. What works for one person, may not work for someone
else. The Staples paper is worth a try.
