I would recommend you spend the $$ and get a decent WB target.

Most white paper is actually a bit blue. What the paper makers do is add a bit of bluing to the paper much like was done years ago (maybe still) - adding bluing to laundry to make white shirts just that much "whiter". I've actually tried this and ended up with images that were just a bit too warm. But YMMV
