Just tried some UK asda paper, 2.97 25 sheets, seems 'ok' but the shiny
surface sticks to the copper as well as the toner making a little more thumb
work needed, but on the good side the actual paper is quite easy to remove
and wicks water up quickly.

paper is ''asda a4 glossy inkjet photo paper '' 25 sheets 180gsm


I also have had my old problem of the paper 'jumping' off the pcb when it
hits the coldwater, like the pcb shrinks in the cold water, should I try hot
water? (all my papers do this, I think its my pcb material to blame, very
'expansive' when hot)
(This is after an iron at cotton setting for 60 seconds)

If the paper does not 'jump off' it wrinkles like a wave shape leaving
toner/no toner/toner along the edges.

Its an effect like you see on your fingertips if you have spent along time
in the bath/shower

Like I said all my papers have done this, the asda is no worse, but cheaper
to buy.
