This was really cool, Karley! I love all the tools you demo.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have had these supplies for over a year and couldn't figure out how to put everything together. I just worked along with your tutorial and my first try came out beautifully! Thank you so so so so so SO much!

Fantastic tutorial. I have gathered all supplies in front of me...just need an inkjet toner printer. I feel the investment is so worth it, goodness knows as a card maker, I've spent some money.

its not ink jet, its laser

My foil gets on the letters but also is spread out on other parts where the sheet was too leaving a shimmery effect that i dont want. How do i get rid of that?

Hi! Thanks for the video - I can’t find the script font you mentioned. What is the font name, please? Thank you!

thank you

You don't really need an additional heat source like your laminator. Laser printers have a fuser that bonds the toner to the paper with heat. The way I've always done this is put the paper back into the printer with the foil on top and print a blank page.

Woah! I would have never thought of that even knowing that laser printers use heat! Do you place it in an clear pouch to hold the foil in place? I can’t wait to try all of the suggestions in the comments! Thanks for your input!!

@@KarleyHall No, the rollers keep them in place together but you need to use the manual feed of the printer instead of putting it in the regular feed tray, otherwise it'll only feed whatever is on top. In the manual tray you need to hold them and help push both the paper and foil at the same time. I have tried it in a while- probably 20 years, so hopefully modern laser printers work the same way.

@@seismojones interesting! If this paper had a rear tray I think it could work, but I don’t think the foil would stay in place from the bottom tray! I’ll have to experiment! Thanks again for your advice!!

what about if you dont have a heat machine, is there an alternative way?

is there a way to do this so its transferrable to another surface?

Is there a transfer paper I can use for foil on glass?

does using an iron works? I don’t have a laminator yet

hi how good is the laserprinter? i want to buy one and want to do gold foils, but im scared

How would you do this on a course certificate? If I wanted a white card stock, some font in black & some of the wording and details in gold foil?

Place foil only on the part you want to foil. Cover all the printed text with a thin sheet of paper to avoid transferring toner to the pouch or you will ruin it.

Don’t use a laminating pouch! That would definitely laminate it 🫣 I have heard some people have tried folding a sheet of copy paper to cover it- but I have never tried it myself. You can buy replacement clear covers from the craft store too!

question. How can I use this method to foil only part of an image on a print. Example: I have a blue, leather look image on the page but want to add gold foil lettering in addition without it adhering to the background color

Could you create this project on a Cricut machine (without cutting)? It seems that a cutting machine will foil and cut, so I'm wondering if purchasing a cutting machine instead of a foiling machine will give me more options. Thanks.

@KarleyHall

There are a few ways you can make it with a cricut but it’s much harder than this. You’d have to cut good vinyl (adhesive or heat transfer vinyl), weed out the negative part, and then transfer it on. Or you could use the cricut foil, and draw with the foil tool- but I wouldn’t recommend that.

@@KarleyHall I have seen both of those methods on youtube. The first option is far too much work. It seems that the cricut foil tool would work just fine, except that the process takes longer than the minc. Other than time, are there any other reasons to use the minc instead of the cricut foil tool? I'm just learning about these machines and not sure of everything I will want to create once I really get started, so I'm trying to understand when one would use minc foiling instead of the cricut foil tool and vice versa.

@@cynthiacarter9592 the foil tool isn’t a great option because it works in single strokes. You can’t “fill” in the foil well. So say you have a heart image-/ with the foil tool- it’ll just draw the outside of the heart and there will not be any foil inside the heart.

It has to be a laser printer. The Dymo 4XL is a thermal transfer printer and does not use toner, which is what the foil sticks to.
