Wouldn't this work?

I don't know if it's appeared on this group before, but it's a gel
that dissolves plant fibers such as those found in natural fabrics and
paper, while leaving synthetic materials (toner?) alone. There may be
other brands, and it might be available in stores like Hobby Lobby.

If the chemical they use can be located and obtained cheaply, perhaps
this would even eliminate the need to peel the paper away and risk
pulling off any traces. It may even remove the need to use photo
coated paper. But for now it's cheap enough to use for removing paper
fibers where the toner is needed for cosmetic reasons.
