Exactly the opposite experience here. I had generally good experiences with magazine covers, sometimes perfect with the paper just floating off the board, but it was highly inconsistent even using different issues of the same magazine due to the variation in the paper used from month to month. Seeking a consistent solution, I looked in the database here, found the (obsolete HP part number) paper that was raved about there and went on a short quest to find its modern equivalent. The first probable HP equivalent I tried was definitely the right stuff: HP CG988A, Presentation Paper (Laser), 32lb. I've mentioned the likely European equivalent A4 sized part number in an earlier post here.
