How to tell if you have "hot" foil or "toner" foil

[@sixtonshark2854]

"I DO want to Dusty Dusty" is permanently lodged in my brain now, thanks

[@PricklyPickle777]

Awesome information and demonstration thank you.

[@audreye6273]

Great video, so informative. TFS

[@MileyonDisney]

Thanks for the helpful info!

[@kaceeboxers3580]

What a fabulous demonstration! I have watched some of your videos multiple times to help cement in my brain, all the differences. I have hot foil dies, a glimmer machine, Gemini Jr, spellbinders die cutter, a inexpensive laminator, toner cards, deco foils and another type foils ( not sure which kind) and just received my minc today. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your videos Nancy! You have an excellent teaching style and cover all the bases. Time for me to start experimenting. Thanks again !

[@debbiebaker4515]

Boy did I need this information!! Explains so much why I was getting such bad results. Yay!! Now I can do a better job.

Good evening Nancy !

I had no idea there were two types of foil. Thanks you so much for sharing and saving me money!

[@susanpearson-creativefibro]

Thank you for this, my two foil sets got mixed up when I moved, I can now sort them.

Thanks for good info😊

thanks Nancy

[@aileenryan9552]

Thank you so much I just bought the Gemini and have no idea what I'm too do so this gives mean clear idea on foils to use, thank you

[@gaylelandry5087]

Thank you for this demonstration. I need to go though my foils and try to separate them. I did not realize that they were really different types. Yes, I did take all of them out of their packages. Because of was trying to save space. Hopefully I can get them all straightened out. I really appreciate how informative and helpful you are.

[@TheSuzyfick]

Hello from Illinois. Thanks Nancy for the refresher course on foiling. This is perfect since i don't get to foiling often.

[@LovinglfDesigns]

Thank you for all these video tutorials Nancy. You give out the info in a clear, easy to understand format. Thankfully my storage system allows me to keep the foil in the original acrylic container or acrylic bag so I don't have an issue. I did buy hot foil at Tuesday Morning one time because I was unsure what it was and wanted to test it, but you've saved me the trouble. I have no interest in investing in a whole other machine like a Gemini and hot foil dies. I imagine that the over foiled cardstock could be readily die cut so it's not a complete waste of a purchase. I did notice though on your second test, that the toner acted like a resist to the hot foil so the pattern was visible. It"s an interesting effect.

IfIFif I learned something new today... AaahhhhHhhhhaaaaA!! E. V. E. R. Y. time I watch your fabFUNfine offerings I learnLEARNlearn. And today’s tutorial is not only-just no different it’s entirely onlyONLYonly-JUST!! I mean to say Hey Thanks!! Good grief. I’ve the CC heating up deallio w/several rolls [whatever came w/it] from launch. Never really used it but that initial curiosity. As well a nicely sized Laminator + the Ranger medium in a jar for toner-based JunkNStuffs which of course is what I’m looking to acquire in due timing; My 1st Laser {toner based} Printer! Haven’t yet used them but honestly cannot wait to dive in thanks to You Nancy! And wow I had no idea your FB joint is filled w/downloadables complimentary as they come! So will surely be on the lookout no doubt! Thank You for all of your experience shared in PaperArts. I look forward to learning a whole lot lotta loads MoreMOREMore!! You da bestest 🕵🏻‍♀️💨

[@joycelowden7623]

Thank you Nancy. Very helpful.

[@leewalker1565]

Thanks Nancy again another perfect video x

[@bendtherules0]

Well, i bought some hot foils by mistake instead of toner foil. What works for me is - if the laminator heat is low, hot foil will mostly stick to the ink and not much to the bare page (although there will be some overfoiling)

[@geminigirl68]

Thx so much for the quick tip video! It'll be great to reference in the future! 🥰

[@MaryinNy77]

Thanxs Nancy, a great and easy way for us to figure out our foil especially since some of us have both a minc & a cc foil machines:)

[@alinediener5985]

Thanks Nancy. Alway educational

Great overview!

Can I use toner foil on my glimmer

[@studioaneure]

Hi, I am interested in making a label for the bottom of my epoxy tumblers. I usually would use a waterslide decal that I can foil (toner method) and apply after I seal them. However, I am now interested in making a label in white instead. Do you know if there is a way I could do this with foiling?

[@NancyStamps]

Yes Koala inkjet sticker paper. Print with Laserjet toner. Then foil. Watch my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/op7OXqBppsuggsksi=7-aOq1IXkHq76u7p

[@cynthiafenton6041]

I do have a question: are Toner foils the same as Heat transfer vinyls? Ive seen these words interchanged a lot and I am not exactly sure the difference or if I can use Heat transfer Vinyls with a Laminator. I do know now I can use Toner foils and textile foils but Some label textile foils as Vinyl transfer foils and I dont know if those are the same.

[@NancyStamps]

Short answer no. Toner foils are foils that need toner to stick to. They are usually thinner and designed to be used in crafting. Textile foils are closely related but are thicker and can be used with a heat activated adhesive to design shirts. The foil & adhesive are seperate. Heat transfer vinyl or HTV is designed for fabrics. The adhesive is already built in and no seperate adhesive is needed. They are usually much thicker as they are designed for multiple washings. Not made for paper crafts, but used often in mixed media, signs, cups, etc.

[@helenwhite8476]

Hi - thanks for your video - very informative. I have hot foil, also foil to use with my cricut machine. Is the cricut foil a third version?

[@NancyStamps]

That's hot foil

[@christinecolton2596]

So if it has adhesive it’s used for the glimmer machine and if it doesn’t stick it’s for the toner sheets?

[@NancyStamps]

Yes, you got it. 😊

[@carolcravener2819]

Do you find that printing on card stock works best?

[@NancyStamps]

When laser printing I use Hamilco paper for foiling.

[@Ingymandour]

Hi Nancy i tried deco foil with a lizar print on colored vellum paper brand named Foĺia and the foil was not perfect and ditressed i want to know the problem I used 2 different laminator

[@laramosby2898]

Try running it through your laminator twice before reveal.

[@Ingymandour]

@@laramosby2898 i tried i think type of paper is not good with foiling as i tried before same laminator with white sticker sheet and was good So can vellum paper was the problem or the type of lizar print

[@NancyStamps]

Vellum is difficult. Try hamilco smooth paper. It's on my amazon shop. Https://www.amaxon.com/shop/nancystamps

[@debbiebaker4515]

Nancy do you recall what the peppermint candy toner page is called? I've looked at all of the files (I think) on FSC on Facebook and didn't find that one. Any help you can provide would be great. Thanks bunches.

[@NancyStamps]

It has been removed to revise the the angel policy for the artist. It will be back soon.

[@kqxx]

I have a question. What laser printer do you recommend for toner foiling? I tried brother printer and it wasn’t doing well. It leave spotty unfoil area.

[@NancyStamps]

I use a Brother. Make sure it does at least 600dpi. Use Hamilco paper, and set your settings on thick paper and toner fixing on. Feed from the front paper loader.

[@andreah993]

So without actually foiling the cards in the minc, is there no other way of knowing which is which? X X

[@NancyStamps]

No, foil looks and feels the same. So until you add heat to see if it "sticks" without an adhesive will you know. You can use a laminator if you don't have a minc.

[@johannefradette4166]

Hello Nancy, I'm from Québec in Canada, I don't write english very well :) I use heated actived foil sheets "Foil Quill" and I use them with my laminator and the foil don't go only on the image (I printed the image from my laser printer, with toner) but there is also a lot of small spots on my sheet. Is this because it's hot foil sheets ? Also, I use Foil transfert sheets "Cricut" and I have the same problem. I ordered "ICraft - deco foil" on Amazon, do you think it will be better with toner sheets ? Thank you very much Nancy !

[@NancyStamps]

Yes the FoilQuil and Cricut foils are hot foils. You want toner foil. Decofoil is one option. You can order from Www.craftycritta.com until 12/20/21 and save 40% using code Nancy40.

[@johannefradette4166]

@@NancyStamps Thank you for your advice. Have happy holidays !

[@alancynvideo]

Nancy, thanks for sharing. Question. If I use my Minc with the hot foil and it coats my whole card stock as you showed, then can I use it as a foiled card stock? Like die cut it and the foiling will stay on?

[@NancyStamps]

Yes, you might need a shim too

[@alancynvideo]

@@NancyStamps thank you sooo much. You and FsC are a Godsend.

[@dianearnes6666]

NANCY} what hot foil machine do you like?. I want to get one.

[@NancyStamps]

Depends on your die cutting machine, but yes I prefer the Gemini Jr with FoilPress.

[@desiflavor9716]

Hii. I have a toner foil. Got it from amazon, but the end results are bad, foil is stuck every where.

[@NancyStamps]

Sometimes it's not toner foil. It's actually hot foil and I depends on what you tried to stick it on. Glossy surfaces will tend to melt & cause overfoiling

[@desiflavor9716]

@@NancyStamps i tried it on a Koala transparent sticker paper

[@carolkovacs4769]

Hi Nancy ,thank you for the video! Question.. which foil would be best for inkjet printed images ? Eg. Sublimation images

Foil won't stick to inkjet or sublimation unless you use Heat transfer vinyl
