Yes, and no it doesn't work. The copper apparently draws away heat to
quickly, and Alps wax thermal transfers by heating the head elements.
And it is -very- sensitive to the exact temperature.

However... some ribbons take higher temperatures than others to
transfer, for instance the metallic, metal foil, and white ribbons. So
if a lower temp ribbon (like black) had a white ribbon sticker put on
it, maybe it would compensate for the heat sink action of the copper.

BTW, there is also http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Alps/
