I don't recommend press n peel blue. I've tried it and am not happy
with the results . Yes, 99% of the toner transfers, but fixing that 1%
with a touch up marker is a pain in the ass.

Boy does that question always open up a can of worms! A lot depends on
how many boards and what size you do per year. It is the best by far -
just floats off the board during soaking for less than a minute with
good toner transer. The stuff seems darn expensive at about $1.70 per
8X10 sheet shipped. Actual cost is $13.80/pack of 10 sheets from
DigiKey, then add a couple or $3 for shipping you'll have close to
$1.70/sheet.
That single sheet can be used 4 (or more) times. I also cut the paper to
sise of my board: 3"X4" board, I just a paper just larger. After the
toner transfer and paper floats off, I hang paper up to dry and reuse.
I've used at least 4 times, and once 5 times.
Used in this manner a $17 shipped back of 10 sheets can last well over a
yr - depending on how many boards you make a week or month.
I've got some Staples Presentation paper that does a good job with toner
transfer, but more hassle to remove from copper. Not bad, but just a bit
more. I don't have a number here, but it was purchased 3 or 4 months
ago.
have fun ;)

across so far, it might be better for printing but it sucks for toner
transfer.
