Yeah, initially it looks like this

After drying and ironing I think I left it under a heavy
book overnight.  I found some of that initial batch of
paper when cleaning a while back (after a couple months) 
and it was almost as flat as normal paper.  Of course,
one good thing about a large commercial copier (like 
those used at kinkos...and which I used with my test) 
is that the rollers are far larger and don't have as 
much trouble with minor imperfections in the paper.  I 
was going to continue to refine the process and make a 
guide (hence the pictures on the server) but my wife has 
been disabled and/or ill for quite some time now so I've 
been unable to pursue any of my hobbies :\
