Wow!
Many of us have tried using the backing from vinyl and sticker sheets. And I've made some PCBs using the vinyl cut to the pattern. But I don't think anyone tried Laser toner transfer using the vinyl itself!
I"m anxious to try this now. I have a few rolls of vinyl hear, maybe I'll run them through my laminator first at "foil" setting to test, as that is hot enough to melt toner. I don't want to ruin my Laser printer.
