No, i think it is more like "on which spot should i place the copper".

I do that regularly with the photo paper for toner transfer.
i print on paper, check one last time, and then tape a small piece of
photo paper
just over the spot. then i feed the sheet through again and print on the
photo paper this time.

i never noticed any sticking/transfer between the sheet of paper and the
back of the
photo paper. i think the fusing is too fast to bring the heat that far
into the paper.


transferring with one pass in a standard speed standard heat fuser is
impossible in my opinion.
i doubt that even two thin sheets of office paper could be tacked with the
printed sides together
this way.
