Tracing paper works very well, I buy it by the A4 size pad from the
local stationers. Being very stingy, I don't use a whole sheet at a
time - I cut a piece a bit bigger than the board, stick it to a piece
of A4 paper in the correct position with a piece of masking tape (I
only use one piece of tape, at the top) and then feed that manually.
