Foil Quill Test Results (Standard & Fine Tips) on Acetate, Vellum, Duralar & Wood Veneer

[@kdotbecca]

*PLEASE NOTE* : After I recorded this video, I learned that many Foil Quill users are getting great results with much lower speed and pressure settings ( generally in the 3 to 5 range for both) than the default material settings that I've been starting with, so be sure to experiement to see which settings work best for you. Also, here's a link to a very helpful Facebook group for the Foil Quill for Silhouette users (lots of experimentation and good information being shared here) : facebook.com/groups/foilquillsilhouette/

Hi there, thank you for the video! Just wanted to find out, how do you do the filled design?

[@lizziedae91]

Hannah Wong use the internal offset & repeat for each new line until filled in

[@kdotbecca]

Hannah Wong - Yes, like MrsB8T said, I used the internal offset option for these fills. More recently, I've tried a new fill method that's giving me much, much better foiled results with the Foil Quill on filled designs. Here's a link to a video with a tutorial for the technique : kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnTWlWh6faqdgpY

Dura-Lar wins! Sure. I appreciate your thoroughness in testing, but, really, Dura-Lar is a ringer. "Then along came Dura-Lar, and it rules us all." Actually, vellum is a close second, and I don't think it's a coincidence it's used to print diplomas and other display-worthy items.

[@kdotbecca]

Well, you know that I love my Dura-Lar. ;) The results on both the Dura-Lar and vellum were great, but Dura-Lar's smoothness put it a little bit ahead in the crisp results department.
