Hi Steve,
I don't think it is conductive. The areas over the laser print actually fuse into the toner so it is some form of plastic that has an affinity for toner. After you run a piece of foil taped to your laser print through your laminator, the piece of foil will have clear areas where it stuck to the toner.
