Subject: Which paper for toner transfer

From: Alessio Sangalli <alesan@...>

Hi, I moved recently to USA and I am building up my hobby "lab" from
scratch.

I already got a laminator (I hate to use the iron, the results are so
uncertain), the etching tank, H2O2 and muriatic acid, and the like.

I'm using Tom's page as a reference:
http://www.fullnet.com/~tomg/gooteepc.htm

I've read that a very good paper for toner transfer is the one found at
staples, SKU 471861 or 471865, called "photo basic" "gloss". I have
found one with the same name but a different SKU (648181):

http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/StaplesProductDisplay?storeId=10001&jspStoreDir=Staples&productId=274671&cmSearchKeyword=photo+basic+glossy&fromUrl=home&cmArea=SEARCH&catalogId=10051&langId=-1

It should be the same, right?


Then, Tom says the JetPrint "Multi-Project" paper is perfect for the
silk screen side. I have not found this paper at Wal∗Mart or Staples.
Any idea which paper is good for this application?


Thank you
Alessio
