I design my blocks in EQ7, then print them out on regular copy paper, but I have found that using newsprint (the kind that comes in cheap kids' drawing tablets) works best for me when I have small pieces and a lot of paper to remove in small spaces. I use a paper-cutter to get it to 8.5x11 and then run it through the printer. I bought the expensive paper at my LQS a few years ago and didn't see much difference between it and the newsprint.
