Yes colour works just as well as black, but i do have to use more heat and my laminator is only just managing it.
(Paper Tests)
Oh BWT i tried some HP Laser Glossy paper (Q2552A) this does work very well, but it a little harder to remove than the current No 1 HP paper the Everyday semi Gloss inkjet stuff, i can remember the number. Anyway the problem i had with the semi gloss was that i got very small holes in the toner and these would etch as well, made a speckled board but it still worked. The new laser gloss paper is harder to remove, but results in a good solid toner layer and does not etch through!
Whilst i was at staples i also noticed that HP also sell a Photo Glossy Laser paper. Its much thicker than Q2552A, in going to give this a try soon, id be interested if anybody else has tried it?

Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Colour Laser Printer for toner transfer ?
I have used a black laser for pcb work. The registration wasn't great
and the image had 'waves' of non-linearity.
Color works the same way. I would think that if you printed black
nothing would be the wiser and I'd be surprised if color didn't work.
All have toner which consists of pigment and plastic microspheres. The
fuser heats and melts the plastic, which holds the toner.
Toner transfer melts theplastic again and causes it to adhere to the
copper. The color is insignificant, unless it requires less/more heat
or somehow doesn't adhere as well.
Let us know :)
