Styrene copolymers (including uncured styrene residue, quite poisonous, due to polymerisation inhibition problems) or PET (probably not directly poisonous), iron powder or similar, fumed silica, titanium dioxide. Each of these ingredients are known inhalation hazards, one definitely shouldn't breathe them. Plus there could be all sorts of incidental junk in there.
can this be done using inkjet? Like have two inkjet printers, one with all colors and the other with only white ink and double passing the paper to get white?
@@ygrabo Why not? Someone sells white ink. Not all print heads do well with pigment inks, and that's what you get since a white dye is impossible, but say Epson do just fine.
I have tried printing with white ink in a washed out black ink cartridge but with no luck, tried alcohol and water based inks, even tried mixing my own with titanium dioxide but it didn't work for me, but I still think it's worth experimenting, maybe you find something that works.
The problem you have with inkjet is that it is an ink and the white will always be slightly transparent. There is also the problem with alignment using 2 printers. With Lasers the toner is melted to the page :) As for costs on lasers you can get a cheap printer like my one HP CP2025 for around £50/80
That's freakin' cool! Amazing job!
Good to know that this works, I might get a tube of powder myself now from Mr. Ali 👌
You're a brave lad. I'd have definitely worn a respirator/face mask for those airborne particles. Goodness knows what's in that stuff.

My concern would be durability. How easily does it scratch off? Will it fade/yellow? etc
There are no fire-retardant chemicals in toner so no yellowing.
And I would think it would be as durable as most stickers could be. :)
Nice! Did you have to print a clean-up page when swapping back to black toner?
@KolyaNadj All I did was swap the toner out . No needs to print anything to clean the system :)
@@mikes_corner I just bought HP laser colour MFP. This is a very nice trick, with the white toner. Tnx for the idea :)
