Press n Peel - which paper type should I select?

[electrosonic]

My Samsung laser printer allows the choice of different paper types - any idea which is best for when printing on press n peel? I

I used a Brother, and I'm using Walgreen's storebrand glossy photo paper. I get the best coat of toner with 'Thicker'. It also gives me a 'graphics' or 'text' option. I go for graphics, but I've never really noticed a difference. I've also found thinner coats of toner (the 'Plain' setting) work better for PCBs, while thicker coats get a better transfer on enclosures.

If it is actual acetate/blue Press-n-Peel, then you use the "transparency" setting, since PnP *is* essentially an overhead transparency.

If, when you say "press-and-peel", you simply mean "toner transfer" using photo paper of soe kind, there can be many different thicknesses, some that are "thicker" and others that are better described as "cardstock".

I have a custom paper size I created which is 1/4 of letter size (I cut my press n peel in half width wise and length wise) . Perfect size for a 1590BB. For some reason the printer does not allow me to select "transparency" with this size of media. I guess I will have to figure out a work around.
