I can source Epson inkjet photo paper (unsure of exact paper numbers, I don't have it on hand). I have access to an OKI C3200n laser printer, which I really don't want to ruin.How do you know if the paper will melt in the printer - or is this an urban myth?! Obviously a laser printer heats the drum and the paper is passed over the drum, so there is potential for a sticky mess?I tried at the weekend to do a toner transfer using ordinary office/copier paper, but in case that would work ok (my first ever) and it was "close, but no cigar" - some toner left the paper and stuck to the copper (it took some effort to rub off again!) but not enough to etch with.I read about magazine paper but am a bit of a wuss and don't want to put thin paper smaller than A4 through someone else's printer really. Exactly what paper are we talking here? Glossy, front cover of FHM? Or Lidl weekly offers flyer (which could be nicely cut down to A4 size). I am in the UK - any suggestions readily received.I have checked the group database and saw a few Epson entries, and some HP entries that were inkjet paper. I just want to check I'm not going to wreck this printer by putting in inkjet photo paper!Sorry for the essay. Thanks for any guidance!
