Re: photo paper on sale at Staples

2009-06-13 by RICHARD HEILIGER

I bought a pack of the Staples photo paper a couple years ago, at the recommendation on another page. It is very heavy and will not work in laminators. It does give a good transfer but takes a long time to heat it thru. It also takes a long, long, long, time to soak off the paper. 

I recommend the much cheaper Hammermill Laser Gloss, also sold at Staples. The best paper I have found for toner xfer. The lighter weight makes transfers fast both by steam iron and laminator, and the paper comes off very quickly, and the pattern is as good or better than the Staples Photo paper.
