Any paper works, just rub it with a little cooking
oil on a cotton wool ball. It goes transparent
almost immediately.

My friend uses this technique to get a mirror image,
he photocopies the PCB artwork, rubs with oil to make
it transparent, then turns it over and can photocopy
through the paper to get the reverse image.

Because you need the reverse image to do the toner
iron-on direct to PCB, and magazines don't have the
reverse image as they expect people to use the old
clumsy transparency/developer method. ;o)
