For anyone experimenting, remember NOT to use glossy (coated) inkjet paper in a laser printer as this will adhere to the roller.

Hi Tony, I try to get a new copper surface as Smooth as possible. I have been known to use Brasso straight on to a newly etched board to remove the toner resist and polish the tracks at the same time. Then clean up with IPA before applying Flux then tinning.
I never realised about the Glossy inkjet paper in a laser printer. I bought a new laser printer 3 months since and don't want to ruin it. Thank You for the tip. Do you mean the Glossy plain white photo paper ? or the used magazine paper?
John.
