Homebrew PCBs

well, the title pretty-much says it all,. I am trying to get a PCB 
layout transfered to the bare board, and have tried a few different 
dedicated transfer paper types in the past without any success. I 
cannot afford to buy any more transfer papaer for a while but am 
hoping tha there is a common non dedictaed paper type that would be 
suiiotabe to make the transfer happen,,,,?

 The Staples T-shirt transfer I have been using is too thick I guess, 
using it results in the pattern 'shifting' always due to too 
much 'waxy' material in the transfer paper to begin with! I have 
heard here and there that there are commonm types of paper that are 
able to be used, kinds of 'glossy' papaer stock,,, I have tried a few 
in the past without any luck.

 Thanks in advance for any tips in this regard, cheers, jd
