Yeah, initially it looks like this
http://www.extremecooling.org/ec/images/pp/gravy/dry.jpgAfter drying and ironing I think I left it under a heavy
book overnight. I found some of that initial batch of
paper when cleaning a while back (after a couple months)
and it was almost as flat as normal paper. Of course,
one good thing about a large commercial copier (like
those used at kinkos...and which I used with my test)
is that the rollers are far larger and don't have as
much trouble with minor imperfections in the paper. I
was going to continue to refine the process and make a
guide (hence the pictures on the server) but my wife has
been disabled and/or ill for quite some time now so I've
been unable to pursue any of my hobbies :\
