Hi...

I've been using Epson 'photo paper' (S041140 for the A4 size 194g/m2).
After ironing it onto the board, the layer releases with lukewarm water in
about 5 - 10 minutes. Works fine for not-too-large boards, even for SMD
packages.

The surface of the paper is not entirely glossy, and I suspect the
higher weight versions may be easier to use (if I could find them).
