You only want to feel light pressure on the paper when your not holding the adjusting screw or touching the plate.
the front of the plate can deflect easily and a lot more then the back. so if the pressure on the paper is set to high at the back then the front might have to deflect to get the same amount of pressure, resulting in a inconsistent height from front and back.
If that makes sense.
I just use a bit of paper as suggested and adjust the initial layer height as needed.
@Gr5 has a different method all together

Usually the paper thickness is good, but it all depends on what the first layer height you have set in Cura![:)](//content.invisioncic.com/ultimake/emoticons/5a33abdf6d109_1f60acopy.png)
I started to use these, and they work perfectly to set a accurate height.
