Most people use a sheet of paper for this. I wouldn't use it to check the tolerances of an airplane part, but it gets you 99% of the way there.

I like the sheet of paper method, but I have gotten a lot more use out of a $0.15 feeler gauge and I get consistently better prints... but I don't have the tools to scientifically quantify it so it could be placebo.
