Other than the tektronix phaser wax printer, is there even any definite
positive result with direct laser printing? I can think of many reasons
why it may not work, and don't remember any reports of success? Have i
missed or forgotten something?
I mean it's well worth a try, but when i tried with aluminum foil it
looked very bad, with my printer.
