[sdiy] Press-N-Peel Bluee and color laser printerS?

[anthony]

Oh so you didn't have to replace a... a... dammit! I used to work at a 
Kinko's and I can't for the life of me think of what that hot roller things 
is called! Lessee: not the imaging unit (though God help you if you need to 
replace one of those...)... The FUSER! Yeah, that's it. I thought you maybe 
had a Fuser-melt. Of course now that I think about it, those things have 
silicone oil all over them so nothing that's meant to be put through a 
printer in one way or another could really stay stuck to it if it melted.

I wonder if running weird stock will void my warranty? I bought an extended 
one so it better not. But I got this baby for $219 (before the warranty 
etc...) I wanted it because of the way it lays on toner nice and thick and 
solid.

So I should maybe buy more than the three sheets of Press-n-Peel Blue that I 
did?

Anybody have success stories with PnP Blue with HP Color LaserJets?

I'm itchin' to do some circuit boards and some brass panels and some die 
cast project boxes I thought would look cool etched.

Wouldn't it be simplest just to load the PnP in the paper tray?

cheers,
Anthony
