I still get the best most consistent results using catalogs that come in the mail. I get loads of junkmail printed on that really thin glossy stuff that a lot of magazines are printed on, it practically dissolves in water and floats off, no scrubbing required, even between thin traces. I always found with the photo paper I had to do a lot of scrubbing to clean out small gaps.
