Yep, I've used magazine paper too, Sunday paper magazine supplement type
paper, that comes out nice n' flat, no bubbling.

Could I suggest something? Slip the wife some shopping money then get
the clothes iron..... and try the paper you are having problems with,
*but do* use a piece of greaseproof paper or kitchen towel between the
paper and iron... just to prevent any marks on the iron - you'll need a
pretty high setting, just hold it on for a few seconds til the paper
gets quite warm. See what happens.

There is one problem however!
Brother laser printers don't use toner as we know, it's plastic
particles and the fusing temperature is much higher than normal toner
powder. There's plenty reading on this subject on the internet and them
not being suitable for PCB.

I'm going off what I have read, I always use Samsung and they proved OK
even the El' cheapo models.....  one thing to remember is with PCBs you
are laying a larger area of toner down compared to normal printing, this
'might' play a part as well.

You might say where the paper is bubbling, might be a clue here, is it
on the toner and the the blank areas?
