You asked this same vague, unanswerable question on February 15. Will
you be asking it every month?

Hi Warren,
I am still looking for some positive answers. As some people still
claim that there are some toners-chemistry will work? I don't know the
answers. Thanks..Please do not discourage some more responses.
Thanks again

If we knew what you were trying to achieve we could make a
few suggestions. Durable, tape test, printing on plastics and
other flexible materials is possible. The use-by dates on
plastic containers, overhead projection transparencies,
the plastic sleeves of batteries, ATM cards, come to mind.
There are many commercial instances of colour printing on
flexible materials.
So does it have to be a laser printer, and can the
printing be in reverse, on the reverse side, of a
transparent substrate?
Successful laser printing depends on low melting
point plastic bonding to the substrate, and toner
isn't formulated with this as a requirement.
Quantity, and many of one image, or many different
images is a consideration.
For many of one, I produced a photo stencil and silk
screened using ink that bonded to plastic.
You buy a tin of ink which I suspect contains a
mild solvent and bonding agent.
I could have added other colours if I wanted 3 or 4 colour.
Another consideration is light fastness, is it for
outside use?
Maybe the original poster was hoping for a response for a new
knowledgeable poster so he could get an answer from a legitimate question.

Thanks. Let me be more specific:
On February 15, someone posting from an IP address of a company called
Canadian Bank Note (http://www.cbnco.com/) wants to know how to print on
some unspecified "synthetic flexible substrate" so that it will pass an
unspecified "tape test". When asked for details, none are given.
A month and a half goes by.
The same question, with even less detail, is posted again. Apparently
the user is unwilling or unable to give details. That raises some
concerns about what's going on. Telling the OP that their question was
vague and unanswerable would either get them to give details that make
the question answerable or realize someone would figure out what they
were trying to do and stop wasting everyone's time.
Can you give some detail about the type of synthetic material you are
speaking of? Is it Tyvac (a extruded plastic that is made into a
paper-like material from the fibres and which is quite strong? Of can
you provide something more about this material. Have you asked the
provider of the synthetic material about printability and temperatures
required, and so on.

Thanks for all your info. I know that I am unwilling to give more
details about the substrate because of the nature of the business. I
am very sorry if that would have hurt any of you. I understand that
you are answering great questions spending your own time in volunteer
basis.
Many of you are honestly asking me further info, and I am sorry, but I
would like to know in respect of general chemistry of toner
It seems to me that if you are working on a patentable concept or
process, which you do not wish to reveal the details about, what you
need to do is to get in touch with someone who has the knowledge you
need and develop an NDA agreement to be signed between the two of you.
If this is a potential business opportunity, you should expect to either
pay an expert for their time, or come up with a fair sharing agreement
on potential profits.
Trying to tap into an internet newsgroup to get expert information
without willingness to share in either the knoweldgebase or your
potential profits seems it may be a bit exploitative.
Some of the information you require is available on line, but you need
to spend some time doing research with Google or another search engine.
You need understanding of plastics chemistry and electron charges,
among other things.
