Default RE: Laser printing on Monokote Trim?

If you are talking about desk top laser printers it will not work. The printing head produces a very high temperature as it fuses the color(s) to the substrate. Monocoat trim will not tolerate this temperature. It most likely will create a big mess and jamb your printer. On top of that your warranty will be voided by using a non laser aproved material.
I have asked these questions of a couple of manufacturers. I own ink jet, laser, thermal, impact and engraving machines. Produce decals and labels for a living. If anyone knows differently please advise!
