Homebrew PCBs

Well, I use any regular inkjet paper.  Inkjet paper is coated so the
ink doesn't wick and that coating makes for reasonable release.  I'm
sure there is better but I don't want to spend my life experimenting
with paper.  I've used office depot, staples and HP brands.  They all
work about the same but the O.D. paper I got most recently seems a
little better.  It was around $4 for 500 sheets.  I think that pretty
much meets your spec.  I can do 10 mil with this paper.  At 12 mil its
very reliable.
