It is some thermoplastic material that will stick to the board like crazy.
Did not cause any trouble in the printer though, in the fuser. Maybe the  
teflon coating was enough to keep it from sticking to the roller, or it  
did not melt quickly enough. But it stuck to the board like hot-melt glue.

The paper i have which is like that actually says "ceramic coating" on the  
outside. What nonsense.
But it works well to make cover sheets for printouts, since the toner is  
firmly attached to the plastic coating and it is nice and glossy.
