The toner is transferred to the paper from the drum via electrostatic
charge.
This is not working with metal.
Some time ago when we talked about the silicone paper someone who has now
left the list tried or planned to try using a silicone roller to
statically take the toner from the drum, and directly transfer in on a
heated PCB. An idea but a lot of work.
Short story, it's not that easy. Long story, look in the archives.
