Subject: photoresist using laser printing

I've read somewhere that people don't like using laser printers for
making their artwork, when using photoresist.
Is the reason for this that the toner is not dark enough?
I'm asking, becaused something came to my mind. You can buy foil
transfer for laser printers and copiers, for as low as us$15 for 8"x100'.
I can't see foil itself being transparant to light in any way. Has
anyone ever tried this? Print the artwork onto a transparancy, then
transfer the foil onto the toner, should give you 100% opaque artwork
for the photo transfer.
