Hm. The HP Everyday paper isn't too bad in this respect - nice and easy to see 
through (it's quite thin). The problem is the toner usually doesn't stick to 
it evenly -- there are grey patches all over the pattern. Needless to say, 
although it just floats off the board, it needs a lot of touch-up.

I can't say I've ever used the Pulsar paper, though I have used Press-n-Peel, 
which is pretty good (if a bit on the expensive side). Shame it's become 
somewhat hard to find in the UK, IIRC the UK distributor went bust. Techniks 
still list them on their website as a distributor though...

I suppose the challenge is to find a paper that's thin enough to let light 
pass through it relatively unimpeded, and also works well for TT.
