Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Iron In Toner?

2016-10-30 by Dave Daniel

One could construct toner particles with iron to result in at least two 
different particle types: one, where the iron was completely coated with 
some sort of insulator (e.g., plastic) and so unable to form electrical 
connections, and two, where the iron was not completely covered and able 
to form electrical connections. There are obviously a bunch of 
variations on the latter which would result in various partially 
conductive configurations.

I have no idea if any of these formulations actually exist.
