Homebrew PCBs

Hi, here is the paper expert. I sell computer consumables, ink, paper, 
the works. The paper used by magazines like "Time" is called "couche" 
and it does come in different weights. It is used extensibly by offset 
printers but is not a paper suited for laser or inkjet printes. Its 
main caracteristic is low absorbtion of inks, thus, it will not hold 
enough laser toner to be transfer to a PCB board. The type used by 
"Time" is recycled couche wich is even worse absorbtionwise. In my 
opinnion you could try low weight highly compacted bond paper. Higly 
compacted means it will not suck the toner deep into its fibers an low 
weight insures a high "disolve" rate in water. But, probably, low 
weight clay cotted paper should be a better idea; they do not absorb 
the toner into its fibers but will retain a lot more toner that couche 
and/or higly compacted bond paper. Once in water it might take longer 
to dissolve but a lot more toner will be transfer to the board since it 
is not being hold by the paper fibers. See you
