The thing is, the "great" HP paper mentioned is not sold to us A4 people  
here, i tried already.
I did not try any other HP paper than "HP Bright White Inkjet" 90g/m^2  
250Sheets, only about 4 times the price of the cheapest copier paper  
Number C5977b.
This paper is NOT SUITABLE, it is not better than plain copier paper  
(doesn't release toner).
So don't waste your time with this one.

Note the allegedly great Q2419A is a high gloss LASER paper not INKJET  
like most working papers. So if you see a high gloss laser paper from HP  
it is worth a try.

I also have Verbatim Glossy Photo Paper A4 100 Sheets 150gsm for Inkjet  
Printers. Reorder No. 38996.
This paper works, but is kinda hard to rub off. It is glossy, and the  
definition seems to be sharper than the matte zweckform paper, but the  
glossy coat is like another layer to rub off.

I agree it is a royal pain for the wallet to try out a larger number of  
papers, but maybe between the two of us we can get more done than alone. I  
didn't have such great luck so far with shared information since most  
people here are in the US with different paper sizes and brands.

If you can get the same paper in different weights buy the thinnest one if  
they all have the same coating. Sometimes you can find a table at the back  
of the packet listing all papers of this family, which quite often have  
the same coating. Thinner paper will print with more toner and will come  
off easier.

I'll enter the two more papers i tried in the database.
