That was my thought also.  In fact, I think some of the defects I'm seeing
are likely from the paper.  That may be why a couple of sheets of paper
directly under the print seem (some uncertainty here) to result in smoother
coating.

One post noted that some use a towel under the glass.  This might accomplish
what you are getting at above.  I would certainly think that a piece of
glass would be flatter than a relatively cheap melamine-coated particle
board.

Thanks for the info.
