Homebrew PCBs

Hello to all!!!
I have asked this question on the picbasic list but no answers.
a couple of thought but !!!!
now I ask all of you on the homebrew board.
instead of transfers from laser printer to copper.
how about just buying a thin copper sheet say 3mil or so.
then run the copper through the laser printer and print your art work.
once that's done laminate the copper to a fiberglass board.
then etch as normal.
would this work????
does anyone see any problems with this?
or the question should be will the laser printer print to copper sheeting??
thank you
regards
