Try children's construction paper.  I'd forget the hot peel for resist
- too much of the toner will stay with the paper. 

You are doing a pretty challenging board for TT. I've got a TQFP test
case somewhere that I'll dig up and try.  When I used heavily coated
paper, I got too much trace bloom for it to work but with the inkjet
paper, it ought to do ok.

interesting.  might even be reusable...  I like the way you think. 
Basically, the goal is to increase the copper/toner adhesion and/or
decrease the paper/toner adhesion.
