I use Staples photo basic gloss! It is pretty good! Also I just tried Hammermill laser color gloss paper 32lb ($10 for 300 sheets at Staples!)
this morning on info from another posting and it comes off easy after soaking.Easier than the phot paper..

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the reply.

My experience is that I get inconsistent transfers with hot peal. Some of the toner stays back on the paper. I also have a high temp polyester film that does not leave toner but it is a smooth surface and the toner tends to run and short traces.

I need to look into different papers. Which paper do you use, please??

Hi Brian.

I hadn't read that suggestion elsewhere. When you remove the paper

'freshly' ironed, doesn't half of the toner stick to the paper?
