I find Reynold's freezer paper is readily available, the shiny side is fairly obviously the plastic side and yes it will mess up your iron and ironing board big time is not used with care. You can print on it but only on the "dull" paper side and the curl ( as it comes off the roll) is an issue. You can buy special freezer paper that is created for copying but you can also iron freezer paper to copy paper, carefully trim it and run it through your copier, making sure the dull side is the right side for the toner. Be sure that there is a tight bond with both papers on the feeding edge to prevent it from delaminating and jamming your printer. Try sticking two copy paper sheets together with a glue stick to be sure your printer can handle the thickness, but it should work flawlessly. Some even just uncurl the paper and use it as is....your choice.
