Drum rolls around with the paper though, scratches are usually from
things like paper clips that hit the drum and then move against it.
Put tape over all 4 edges of a rectangular piece and the result makes
a baby's butt look like sandpaper.
And I'd bet there is some oil or film coating on the metal from
processing, bare aluminum foil stays shiny almost forever, which I
wouldn't expect of raw aluminum exposed to oxygen. At any rate, prints
fine on my HP and did a few tests, but I'd still rather eliminate the
transfer part. Toner does tend to push into the foil a bit, so lines
are a little thinner than on paper. My own tests looked pretty good
too, but I haven't had time to even look at it lately.
I'd still much rather get rid of the transfer process though.
