Hrm.. do you think that it might be possible to use the
hot foil itself as the conductive trace? Rather than
transferring to PCB and etching, maybe the paper
itself can be adhered to some rigid backing material OR
maybe used without (like a flexible PCB).

I'm also not sure about how the foil would react to hot solder
temperatures. Can anyone who has this stuff experiment?

i have serios doubts if that may really work...

is it conductive at all?

i don't think the solder would adhere. (yes i know on may solder two icecubes together with the right
flux but...)

please try it someone who has this foil.

regards
stefan

since laser printers use electrostaic atraction to
form a image would'nt the foil short it out if it was
conductive?

exactly this i thought also...

but normally there is no electrostatic acticity needed when fusing it to the paper.
but i won't feed conductive foil in my printer so i think it isn't conductive..
