I tried this with some 1" wide copper tape stuck to paper. I was
hoping it might work and could be used for flexible thin boards. It
didn't transfer well enough though. Not a complete wash but only about
50% transfer, no where near usable. I only tried it on an HP8550
printer. Maybe I'll re-try on my old Epson 1500 at home (no copper
foil is going any where near my HP1200 - LOL).
