Nice job. As a textile printing specialist, I would like to make a small suggestion for powder adhesive. In order to make foils in those powders, the device pressure must be high. at least 4 5 bar pressure and 150 degrees operation is sufficient. It may not work well on small devices. Finally, there are TcrafTx brand textile foils that we highly recommend, you should definitely try them. Thanks for the information, good work

Never understood why people use all those anti static pouches and static loose powders, a lot cheaper to stick a bit of unscented baby powder in a small tub and just dip an old paintbrush into it and dust when you want to emboss. Done that for years, it's exactly the same stuff you pay a fortune for in little bags and applicators lol.. All it does is coat greasy finger prints in fine powder, that's the secrete and nothing else. :D Any finely ground powder will work, the key is it just needs to be fine. So baby powder, cornflour all of these are super super fine ground powders and will work exactly the same as those static bags and powders!

Hey Jonathan! Yes! so the toner that is present in a laser printout (NOT present in an inkjet) is what the foil adheres too when heated through the laminator. The laminator method CAN be a generic type...however, I'll be updating this foiling video very soon with methods and materials I use these days since learning some of the best methods for full coverage results and in that video, I'll be sharing that I believe the Heidi Swapp Minc Machine is the way to go (as opposed to the cheaper laminator). As far as the thickness able to go through the machine - on any generic laminator- I'm not sure what it can accommodate. I know the Heidi Swapp Minc Machine says up to the width of "chip board" but I've never attempted that before! Good luck! :) Molly

What do you think would be faster or cheaper to enhance bride + groom's names on wedding invitations? The laser printer foil method, or using gold embossing powder & heat gun?
@PoppyandMintandLife7 жыл бұрын
Hey Melissa! So typically with wedding invitations, you can speak with your stationer about getting your invites foil STAMPED -- it's a much cleaner look to the foil, it's depressed into the paper (like letterpress) and it's gorgeous...it's also much more expensive than the methods I'm sharing that are more DIY. With Foil Stamping, a metal plate must be made with the design to be imprinted with foil and to create the plate can be costly. (but that plate would be used over and over for the amount of invites you had.) If you are trying to foil on your own at home - it will still be easiest to print them yourself with a laser printer and then cut the foil to match up with the names only on the invite. One warning though! Make sure that you then cover the rest of the toner ink from the laser print out that's NOT covered with foil (so maybe like the details at the bottom, RSVP etc.) with a plain piece of printer paper before sending it through the laminator or Minc Foiliing Machine. If you neglect to do that, the toner will come of on your transfer folder or onto the barrel within the laminator machine and every time you use it after, the words from the invite will be lightly 'printed' onto what you fed through. Let me know if you have more questions! Molly
@MelissaMontgomery7 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the tips! I don't have a stationer -- I'm a graphic designer so I'm doing all the design and will have them printed somewhere. Foil stamping is out of our budget so I've been trying to figure out which elements I want to be metallic and how I'm going to achieve it.

@PoppyandMintandLife7 жыл бұрын
Hey Nicole! Sorry for the late response to this! So with letterpress paper, you're not going to be able to get a good foiled product with a DIY method like this at home. The paper won't be nearly smooth enough to get the results you want. What you're needing to do is actually spend the extra $$ and get your invitations "Foil Stamped/Pressed" when having the invites letterpressed. The letterpress will actually push the foil into the paper and it will have a depression. It's gorgeous. But keep in mind, you would need to first pay to create a custom plate (the design of your invitation put onto a metal plate to be used over and over again on each invitation being pressed through the big machine). I would google some letterpress companies and you could direct questions their way for pricing etc!

I have a laser printer and a heat laminator. But when I try to foil it leaves foil over the entire area of the foil. Not as much over the "blank" parts, but still splotched all over with foil. What am I doing wrong?
@PoppyandMintandLife7 жыл бұрын
Hi Rose!! I'm sorry for the late response on this question! So are you having the issue where your final product has pieces where the foil did NOT adhere so it looks splotchy? Or there are areas on the white space where you do not have a design where foil is being laid down? The answer for both situations is that yes it's frustrating a lot of the time and both of these issues have happened to me too! Since publishing this video 2 years ago, I've definitely come to find that DIY foiling is a finicky hobby :) (So awesome when it works great though!) - I plan on creating another video, new and improved, where I actually recommend spending the extra money on a Minc Foiling machine because the added heat settings make it worth it. I've had to play around with my personal computer and printer's settings to get it to work just right without having those bad areas but one suggestion I have for the issue of foil being put down on your paper where the design is NOT...rub your paper down lightly with a dryer sheet and then with a clean paper towel before running it through the laser printer. That has worked for me to make sure that there is nothing on the paper that the heated foil will stick to except the toner design.
