I've just tried the Epson "Premium glossy photo paper", which appears to have 
a plastic coating on it. That coating seems to prevent it from absorbing 
water, which means it won't come off the board after it's done. Plus it's 
probably way too thick (255gsm), which makes it a little hard to get the heat 
through the paper and to the toner. Apparently the Photo Quality Glossy Paper 
is 140gsm; somewhere between thick copier paper and thin card.

I've got a HP sample pack here that I'm going to have a play with. Hopefully 
some of the paper in there will work...

Does anyone want to swap 19 sheets of Epson S041706 10x15cm premium glossy for 
some of the Photo Quality Glossy Paper? Nah, didn't think so...
