Sorry, but it bugs me when people jump in and say "it won't work, or sorry to rain on your parade" Ok, prove to me it *** WON'T*** work. Have you tried it and failed with every possible variation, or are you just reading the wiki or "How it works" and making a global statement that hopefully true engineers won't listen too. I sorta like innovation. When we are kids, we can do anything. When we get older, people like tell us how we can't do things. Funny that the innovators are usually the young ones, or still young in mind. >Won't work anyway, the copper mucks up the static charge lasers use to get >the powder to stick to the drum, then transfer to the paper (or PCB here). Top of my head: Find a way to localize the charges by maybe sandpapering or pre-ectching for rough micro-peaks.
