I've been using press-n-peel exclusively for the last couple of years 
(tried magazine paper, inkjet paper, etc, without much luck).

It pretty much just falls off the copper once cooled, though a gentle 
wipe with a sponge or soft toothbrush may be required to catch any 
remaining bits of the backing layer. The instructions suggest using 
sticky tape to remove the excess but I've not yet had to resort to 
that.
