No, I use sheets of photo paper. It is very convenient, but maybe
cutting magazines works with the same reliability in the printer? I will
try.

I have to say that, I do not recall any of those residues having left an
unetched spot or ruined a board. Maybe I've always cleaned them very
well OR the etchant goes actually through it. Again, once I tried to use
a paper cup to hold the etchant (luckily inside a plastic dish) and
after few minutes the etchant ate all the base of the cup :)

So maybe all the concerns with paper residues are unnecessary?
