I've never tried the paper you are using, but I was under the
impression that the *Inkjet* glossy is preferable to the laser glossy,
because the laser paper is obviously made to hold onto the laser
toner.

I get good results and none of the problems that you mention using
paper from a magazine, an iron, and a rolling pin. I would describe
the paper as 'cheap', thin, and fairly glossy but not super glossy. It
lifts right off under running water with very little encouragement.

The only problem I have is with toner density on my samsung ml-2010,
which can result in some pitting. I like your idea of setting it to
'transparency' paper, I'll try that and see if it helps...

I also remember reading something about a brother printer that was
unsuitable because the melting point of the toner was too high...
