/me awaits people's pics of perfect 4mil traces

Seriously though - the best TT results I've had have been with inkjet
gloss card, 8 passes through laminator.

Press'n'peel film - no luck, the toner just doesn't transfer.

'Time Magazine' gloss paper - transfers ok, but with distortion that
could mess badly with fine close traces.

WashAway paper - transfers fine, but with similar distortion to magazine
gloss paper. Etching takes longer (since a fine layer of paper fibres
stays on board and won't wash away), however this is offset by the
convenience of instant wash-away of the bulk of the paper.
