"Dr" G the foil printing specialist explains that not all Toners are created equal

[@carlyboy888bradford3]

It’s an awkward one, usually cheaper lasers are better because they often use silicon oil in the toner of the more expensive lasers and nothing much sticks to silicon, the downside is that cheaper lasers don’t take thicker card 😢

[@christiekeene5812]

Just happened upon this video, and just noticed I got to see my name in the beautiful gold foil!!! Lol. Christie. Even the same spelling which is rare for me to find!

Which laster printer(s) do you recommend?

[@kelly_p]

Hi! Thank you so much for making these videos they’ve helped me understand why my foil isn’t working! I got some prints done by a laser printer at a local copy shop and the quality was terrible like you said in your video! I’d like to buy a laser printer so I can print at home - do you have any recommendations for a good home laser printer? Many thanks in advance for any info! :)

[@Tassycrafty]

Hi! Did you find a printer? And if yes which one did you get?

[@Camiwalshlivemusic]

I would love to know which home printer to use for this, also one that has a high gsm - I've been wanting to do this for so long but I just don't know which printer to get on a low budget, I have a laminator that is just sitting gathering dust and lots of card and paper that needs foiling! Someone please advise! Samsung or brother Lser printer?

[@MisterDivineAdVenture]

Can you double-print through the laser to thicken the toner ??

In conclusion, Samsung is great toner... I would love to see a side by side comparison of several brands.

4:26 So the different machine that printed the blue card originally at the printers ie poor version, was it also a Laser printer or was it an inkjet printer, you didn't explain that. If it's inkjet it wouldn't work as well.

Hi! Have you ever printed burgundy or dark red foil lettering onto gold pearl shimmer paper? If so, did it turn out to be readable or not? Lastly, if you are printing on "dark" gold paper and want burgundy print do you go with maroon/burgundy foil or red foil to get that color scheme? Thanks in advance for your help!

What if I wanted the inverse? Printing ink onto think foil card stock?

[@JANJOHNSON59]

When I print on white paper it looks clean. When I foil it transfers foil onto areas that appear to be free of toner. What do I do to prevent this.

[@hotakmomma101]

Pencil eraser helps with that

[@shirleyb2896]

I have had the same problem. I found that embossing de-static powder bag around the printed image helps to reduce the speckles. Keep it off the printed image though.

[@michaelkleper406]

Thank you for sharing your experiment. Have you found any difference in foiling a printed sheet that has just come out of the printer as opposed to one that has been sitting for weeks? Have you tried printing a sheet twice to build up the toner?

[@Nilocseel]

Does printing twice help? Mine always comes out bad and I don't have another printer

[@SA77888]

Hi can you tell me your opinions on which are they best lazer printers to use. I used to use an OKI c301dn and I got mixed results.......sometimes OK, sometimes not so good. I want a lazer printer and foiler capable of fine detail. Also what do you think about laminators vs industry standard foilers like the Foil Tech, FT-12 Foil for example........laminators cost about £150, whereas the foiler machines cost around £2000. Is the only difference the speed at which they work or is quality affected too, please.

[@fionasmyth6197]

Hello Swayam Is a mono laser printer better than a colour laser printer? I need a colour laser printer for printing my labels but don't know if it will work for foiling?

[@foilart]

Hello Swayam...Toner foiling will stick onto Black and Colour Toner...so no point printing in colour if you want to foil in gold....print in black and foil afterwards...it is cheaper, if you want a colour background but want to foil on top...print the background with inkjet printer, then overprint design or text with laser printer then foil....foil won't stick to the ink only Toner

[@foilart]

Hello Fiona....Foils will stick to Colour and Black Toner....but it doesn't make sense foiling over a colour print because it costs more....just use black the foil......if you want a colour background with foiling on top...print the colour background with inkjet printer then overprint the foil design on top of ink...the foil will only stick to Toner not ink back ground

[@lyndahollins2881]

that is awesome. I am doing exactly the same thing with my sons wedding invitations. I am buying a lazer jet printer just to do this. the print shop was Rubbish.

[@acadiestudio]

Great video!

[@ARTech86]

Is it Laminating machine are you using as foil printing? Then I one thousand order how much time will consume to execute the order? Its seems too slow. Thanks for your nice video!

[@foilart]

Hello Ataur....using a laminator for foil printing is a slow process I agree, but when you have short runs it is much cheaper than conventional foil printing because you do not need foiling blocks {Dies}...only photocopy...printers are not really interested in doing short runs 50 / 100 / 200 or they are very expensive

[@yrusam2]

What model is the Samsung laser printer you show about 1/2 through video? Thank you.

[@foilart]

Samsung Xpress M2070F....but i also use refilled cartridges....I don't need to use original cartridges

Hi, what is the smooth cardstock that works both laser and foiling? I tried several material (texture cardstock, transparent vellum, copy paper, smooth cardstock) all of them does not work, only to a photo paper. Thanks in advance

[@foilart]

Hello Lanesc....I can use standard photocopy paper 80 gsm. 160 - 200 gram smooth board any kind just as long as the surface is smooth....I do not need Photo paper...any smooth board will work....maybe your laminating machine is not right...what is wrong when you print onto other paper ?

[@JiLaNor]

FoilArt thank you so much for your quick reply. Its always have a black spot .

[@foilart]

when you say it does not work...what does not work the printing on the paper or the foiling onto the Toner....I have no problem using this, I do not use hi gloss photo paper...

The foiling onto the toner is not good. Probably my minc heide swapp foiling machine is broken or something. Thanks for the reply.

can i use Brother HL-1110 Monochrome Laser Printer?

[@foilart]

Hello Luisito...It really doesn't matter what make of Laser printer you use....it depends on the Toner, I use an bottom of the range Samsung Xpress M2070F printer and this works for me....I also do not use original Samsung Cartridges, I use refilled cartridges which work just fine....so there is no reason The Brother should not work.

[@SwayamPrakash9]

nice info.. which is the Best laser printer for gold foiling?

[@foilart]

Hello Swayam...try to use a laminator that can adjust temperature because foils require a higher temperature to activate than laminating adhesive....I usually work at around 130 Celcius...but I can increase temperature up to 160 but I have never used this temperature, some entry level machines don't get hot enough for foiling...so it is better if you can buy a machine where you can set temperature....hope this helps.

[@SwayamPrakash9]

thanks for the reply, I purchased the laminator where I can adjust the temperature upto 190 c. I am planning for a laserjet printer but confused between Brother or Samsung ? Please advice. TIA

[@foilart]

I use a cheap Samsung Xpress M2070F....but any printer should work....I even use refilled cartridges, not original Samsung and this works fine, for best foiling results you need compatible Toner....maybe first get some prints done on both printers test for foiling and see which one works best.

[@graemeaitken5654]

Warning. Warning. This is comment is from Dr G the foil printing Specialist... Please Note: Although I did test Prints on my office Samsung Printer this does NOT mean that Samsung Printers offer the Best Toner for Foil Printing...I forgot to mention in my demo video that I use REFILL CARTRIDGES... NOT ORIGINAL SAMSUNG TONER CARTRIDGES... The refills work perfectly fine for my needs Most Lazer Printers will do the job...if your results are inconsistent it may be because of a specific Toner brand's formulation or possibly a slight batch to batch difference that is causing you problems...in this case try prints on other Laser printers at your local copy shop.... PS...I have found my results are better when using a Monochrome Printer ( Black & White ) Rather than a colour printer...print the Image on the DARK setting...this will put down more toner for the foil to adhere to.
