Dr G the foil printing specialist, Toner reactive foil printing vs Hot stamp foil printing

[@WestCoastCanuck]

I have a background in traditional hotstamp with magnesium and copper dies in the label and packaging industries. I am fascinated by doing toner receptive foiling from home. Is there any way to secure the foil to the substrate to eliminate the wrinkles?

[@kehindeopoola4359]

please are those materials you are printing on or is it possible to print or cover sheet of an hard cover

[@foilart]

We were printing onto Black card 250 grams...generally Toner foiling is done on paper and card, if you want to foil onto hard covers you would have to consider a HOT FOIL PRINTING machine, this process will require some skill and you do need to have a die made {metal plate} made each time you want to foil an image...this is how conventional foil printing is done, whereas Toner foil printing is a relatively simple process printing onto photocopied images.

Hello.. I would like to know about the kind of foil and the kind of the black card speciality for the toner receptive.can you please inform me about it? And if possible can you also text the speech of this video? Thanks in advance .. will be waiting for your response

is the foil for both process are same?

[@foilart]

Hot stamping foil and Toner foils are different, if you use Hot Stamping Foil on a laminator it will stick where it is not supposed to because the adhesive layer at the back of the foil is designed to stick to paper, Toner foils will only stick to toner because the adhesive layer is designed to stick to plastic...Toner is made up of 55% plastic particles {Polystyrene}....so the foil is no good for paper so it does not stick to it, only a plastic surface {Toner}..regards Dr G the foil printing specialist {KZbin}
