What does "good" mean?  Do it's surface qualities change (e.g.,
become "tacky" and more likely to adhere to the drum?)

The fuser in a laser printer operates at ~200C.  (low temp toners
operate at lower temps -- but, I think those are primarily monochrome?)

 From what I've found re: the Phasers, they operate at a much lower
temperature -- 135C.  So, I think I'd feel safest trying mylar on
a Phaser instead of color laser (though I would be more distraught
it the Phaser was damaged than I would the color laser!)

<frown>  I'll have to finish my experiments with "card stock" and
see if they are good enough to warrant NOT risking the mylar
experiment.

Thx!
