shuld not be because the toner is 'statically bonded' to the drum and from
there it transfers by sticking to the carrier.
now, the transfer to a conductive surface off the statically charged drum may
pose some difficulty, but often works.
the problem I see, and am not willing to try, is that the stiff board may
scratch or damage the drum. that's the death of the printer.
using 'soft' foil on paper is likely to not risk the drum.
