I know there's some scientific reason behind this phenomenon.
I'm guessing some kind of residual static electricity..

Yes. Hewlett-Packard even used that effect to hold down the chart paper
in their old flatbed analog X-Y pen plotters. The base where you put
the paper was a circuit board with a pair of traces on it, covered with
a white plastic ***. On the control panel was a switch. Put a piece
of chart paper down on it, and flip the switch and the paper was stuck.

Anybody know what voltage they used?


Do you have a model number? A lot of old HP service manuals are
available for free download on the http://www.agilent.com website.
