I suspect this is a Google item. ...But I'm gambling that it's kinda
novel and so posting here instead.
Proposed Idea: 1oz copper clad kapton film 8x11 run through laser
printer.
Purpose: Cheapass PCB making.
Problem: Don't know enough about laser printer operation.
(Some sort of electrostatic charging + toner and heat if I recall )
Without opening up a physics book, I am right that this won't work?
The laser printer will attempt to charge the metal foil and it just
dissipates. No localized charges.
So...
Let's say I treated the copper surface..
I coat the surface with a chargeable coating...
Then come up with a chemical process to remove the coating in
non=toner areas....Which leads to:
Problem 2: Will 1oz copper clad kapton most likely jam up the feeder?
Anyone here fed weirdass materials into a cheapo $200 laser printer?
