We've been there, done that. I'd have told you if you had asked ;-)

The problem is you only transfer toner "by chance" now, half or more than  
half of it stays on the drum.

Nobody could ever get nearly enough toner on the metal to act as a resist  
without holes.

I'm all for new ideas and experiments, otherwise there will be no  
development, so good luck!
