Silly question (?), but would this be the same powder used in laser printers?

I don't think its laser toner but more likely Powder Coat just a guess

Hey Gary, I've tried it myself on my 40w Helix and can't get a decent flow. It either scrubs off or vaporizes. Would you consider sharing any tips?
I have tried all combos of hi/low power and speed. Maybe taking it just out of focus?

Test substrates include steel sheet and wood...

Air assist would leave you with a machine COVERED in powder and possibly the first time the beam hits it on your lenses, your lenses are toast.
I can't imagine you'd ever get it clean if it blew around in the machine unless your exhaust is strong enough to really cause negative pressure.

I've simply jostled a jar of it in the garage and had to open all the doors and wait for the powder to settle. Then wipe EVERYTHING down... I do love it though in it's traditional use.
