1. It is meant for inkjet and may melt in your laser printer.

2. You'll end up with a board 100% covered in soft polymer, regardless
of where you printed.

I had heard of some kind of transfer meant for color laser, but
requires a 2 step process.

And in the end, most people seem to be able to do standard toner
transfer just fine.
