I've been making PCB's for some time using iron-on transfer from a laser print on paper. I bought some glossy paper recently in the US, and have just tried it.
It works perfectly. NO imperfections, NO smearing, EASY to remove with a bit of soap and water, NO furry redidue across the bare copper.
The paper is:
Color laser paper, gloss white . heavyweight
Source: Staples item# 633215
Size: 8.5" x 11"
Quantity: 300 sheets per package
Price: I think I paid about $7.00
I use 1 part murialic (hydrochloric) acid to 2 parts 3% hydrogen peroxide as an etchant. Fast and very cheap, but demands a little more respect than ferric chloride.
Hope this helps someone.
