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.
No. It charges the drum, which picks up the toner, then transfers
it to the page like a printing press; then the page goes through the
fuser, which makes it stick.
The thing I'd worry about is getting your copper-clad to go through
the paper path.
Good Luck!
