Thank you so much for the info. Your video came up randomly on my suggested to watch and you answered the very question I had about my printer. I was just about to chuck it out the window and purchase another one because I couldn't get it to print on thicker paper. Ah! I forgot about the back compartment. The minute you mentioned it I ran to my machine!! Thank you so much. Now I can get to foiling.
OMG.... thanks so much for this video.... my husband found it for me.... I bought a laser printer and of course, I'm sending it back because the heaviest card that will work good is 40 pound. So now the search is on for one like this or equivalent to it...... Thanks so much!!!😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks so much for this video! I'd watched it a long time ago, but had to look it up & watch it again since I finally got my laser printer. Followed everything exactly & it worked great!
This is the video I needed to see! I have this printer and cannot print on cardstock! I did not know I could feed it directly. Thank you for putting this information out there!
Thank you so much. I bought a laser printer specifically for foiling. Then I got soooo confused when looking at purchasing foil. This explained the difference very well. You’ve saved me a heap of testing! ❤️🇦🇺
Wow! Thanks so much for this amazing video! I have two Brother printers...one is an ink jet and the other is the exact same laser printer that you have. I have had both for about 3 years and NEVER realized the back folded down to feed thick paper directly through the machine! I knew I could feed it through the front tray but it was always rolled up after printing with the toner. Your information is genius! I just received several rolls of the Deco foil today to try my hand at this toner/foil thing. I do have the Minc machine and the Glimmer machine. But always wanted to try the toner technique. It turned out lovely. Absolutely no problems. I checked out your textile foil source and will definitely be ordering from them from now on. I'm glad I have just a small amount to begin with. But I will say, if I've calculated correctly...buying the small rolled up packages is approximately 18 cents per inch (12" wide) (and that was on sale!) ...verses 2 1/2 cents per inch (12" wide) from your source!!! Quite a difference, I'd say. I'm also glad I am able to have such excellent printing with the toner now because I can change the settings! Thank you...really??? Thank you so much.
Haha! I'm laughing because I used the wrong foil (the last one you spoke about) and it rolled up into my machine. I had to take it apart to get it out. This is a fantastic video! Thank you!
Wow, what perfect timing for this video. I have watched several of your videos on foiling and decided that I wanted to take the plunge and get a Minc. Im a real newbie at all this. It arrived yesterday and now Im planning to purchase a laser printer and I was at a complete loss as to which printer to purchase. I decided to look at your videos to see if you may have address the laser printers and bingo there it was! Today's video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I had no idea about the difference of hot and heat transfer. Thank you so much!!!! You just saved me a bun h of time and money, considering I just ordered 5 rolls from Spellbinders. Just had to cancel that order, and going with H&H, once they have stock again, :-)
This video was everything I needed!!!!!!!!! I recently purchased a Minc machine and couldn’t figure out why my foiling was coming out terrible. After watching this video I decided to order from H&H foil and the results were absolutely beautiful… makes my labels look amazing!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
thank you!! i have this same printer and didn’t know about the back door. Also, tried foiling with WR-hot foil so…. THANK YOU for this tutorial, I had it all wrong! 😅
Awesome video Nancy (as usual)! I have been printing through Adobe Acrobat but will try printing through Silhouette Studio for the extra print settings! Thanks so much!
I recently had the same results with minc foil like you did with the pink foil. I’ve used this foil before on sticker paper and it came out fine. I use a cannon laser printer and a mic foil machine. I have tried setting 1-3 and they both had the same results this week. Prior to this setting always worked. Do you know why this might happen? Could the foil be old? Thanks for sharing this video for newbies like me. Especially info about different foil and where I can get better foil.
I love your foiling videos 👍. I have the Anna Griffin Minc machine as well as the 12" Minc machine, a laminator, Crafter's Companion FoilPress, Couturier Creations & Anna Griffin Go Press 'N Foil machines. My favorite is the Gemini FoilPress using the Gemini Junior. I've bought the new FoilPress 12" platform, but I haven't tried it out yet. I'm tempted to buy the new Gemini Pro machine with the 12" opening because I love being able to die cut all different designs with one pass through the machine. The cost of the unit will be $300+ and will be difficult to justify.
Hi Nancy! Great video! Thank you so much! Just a question please!! How do you instruct printer to print out the rear exit and not through the (upper ) normal exit??
Thank you very much for the video and explanation, it was very useful. I have a question I would like to ask, I would be very happy if you could help; Is foil thickness very important? I mean, I use 12 microns and not all black areas are foiled on laser outputs. I wonder if it has to do with the micron thickness? The foil textile foil I use.
Nice one, thank you so much. Are you saying that the best way to print a toner image is to import it into the silouhette software at 1200 dpi and then print it from there? Why would you need to do that if the printer is also set at 1200 dpi? Does doing that make the image that much better for printing at 1200 dpi? The only foil I have used so far is the deco and it does fine for me. I just got a mini mink and you are so right, it makes a huge difference! I love this machine!
Thank you so much for this helpful video! Are the print preferences the same on a MacBook? Also I know you said printing on vellum is very difficult but just curious is it still possible? if so would you set printer to thin paper and then 1200 dpi along with changing to the other settings you changed? Do you know if it’s possible to manual feed on 110lb cardstock? Thank you in advance for ALL of your help!
Hello, Nancy! Do I always have to cut the foil paper the same size as the whole surface (as a card for instance) even if what I want is to have a small word/logo foiled in the center of it? I'm asking because I have cut a square around my logo and the were light golden marks of the sides of the square on it. Thanks a lot! Best regards from Brazil! Dani
Great video and right on time Nancy .I just bought HL-L2315 wireless Brother printer. I have not opened the box yet because I wasnt quite sure it was the right type of printer.It has 600 dpi but not sure about a way for the paper to exit from the back. Would that really make a big difference? As always..great info and thankyou for sharing.
I'm considering this printer for heavy papers. What is the heaviest paper you have successfully printed with? The official specs booklet says it can handle about 85lb but I'm wondering how accurate that is. Specifically I would like to print mixed media paper, Bristol board, and light/medium watercolor paper
I bought transparent matte sticker paper that can be used in a laser/ink jet. I foil it on 1 in my Minc and it comes out just like the pink one but I used Heidi Swapp reactive foil that says it’s to use with the machine. I saw in one of your vids where you’re foiling on clear stickers and used level 4 but the foiling was perfect, like no specks or anything. What am I doing wrong? It’s so frustrating.
@@NancyStamps ahh okay…I see these are vinyl stickers but I’m wanting to make transparent matte stickers for my planner…got any tips/product recs for that? TYIA!!
2 questions: h&h has all the golds out of stock. Do you recommend another U.S. based company? Also, my printer (2370dw) curls up one edge when following your steps exactly using recollections 65lb cardstock. Am I doing something wrong?
@@NancyStamps I went ahead and bought a bunch of (in stock) foil from h&h supply so fingers crossed it works. I can’t find anyone else saying using textile foil for cards is ok but i trust the expert (you!). I didn’t order proworld because they basically say on their own website that it won’t work well (that it leaves spots for a “distressed look”). Not sure how you see it performing.
Hi sweety! I’m wondering which is the best toner foil you recommend based on your experience? I’m between H&H and Heidi Swapp, don’t know which one to buy!
My foiling has always been a hit and miss. I did my printing from Officeworks to make sure i used the correct toner. When i came home i put it through my Heidi Swap Minc machine a the gold foil turned out ok. However, when i tried to foil the other pages the toner didn't adhere at all! I tried all settings on the minc but found that it didn't seem too hot. Could it be because it wasn't hot enough? I'm at my wits end! I need to get this sorted for a job i have to do. Please help!
Paper matters. How thick it is & heat setting. The smoother the paper, the better the results. 65lb-80lb use setting 3-4, and thicker cardstock go 4-5. Make sure your minc is hot and ready. ua-cam.com/video/q31ku3rDahc/v-deo.html
Can u feel the printing? With my Hp I can, with my Brother HL L 2445DW I cannot and even though I put the settings like you, it doesn’t work. I don’t get good results.
@@NancyStamps thank you so much for responding me. With the same paper I get great results with my old HP, but I will try other papers like you said. I am quiet disappointed with my Brother so far, I bought it only for foiling,.
Hello Nancy with your exprience I hope you will be able to advise. I need to transfer print what came out from laminator to be a sticker/ fake tatoo in the skin. Any idea how possible it could be done?
Hello!! I have a brother laser printer I bought 2 months ago, and I can’t get the foil to stick completely to the letters I print, I always get black specks.. I have tried everything.. and it’s weird because at the beginning it foiled ok and suddenly I’m getting a lot of black specks on the printings after I foil them through my MINC
Hi Nancy, just found your video, I am wanting to foil over an image that I printed on my inkjet printer (wedding invitations) and I want to foil the bride and groom's names on the same invitation. Can I print just the black with my lazer? I am using Cricut machine and Design Space. thank you. I am not sure how to describe without going into pages of text lol
Hi, can someone tell me why when I trie to foil with press or laminator, I have foil coming on the blank part too ? Not totally but like big foil dust.. ( sorry my english isnt my native langage) thank for the help
I have had success with BlueBonnet clear glossy labels and Koala (inkjet) labels. Foiling works on all of those. I have not tried Avery yet. ua-cam.com/video/9m0VxSW0WTY/v-deo.html
I bought this HL-L2370DWXL but for some reason its not foiling. I tried different paper , different foil . I'm not sure if its the ink can you help me please. the foil just doesnt stick.
Are you using toner foil and putting it matte side on the toner. And then running it through a minc machine on setting 3 or higher. Must be ultra smooth paper. You can join Foiling Snobs Club on Facebook and post pictures.
So the weirdest thing happened, I did this and the toner print came CLEAN of the card stock it was printed on! So the toner basically transferred over into the foil 🙄🥲🥲🥲 so bizzare i purchased and hp printer haven’t changed the laser jet toner I’m assuming they send the new printers off with cheap toner because it prints pretty sucky
@@NancyStamps so I honestly purchased gift bags and cut them into 8x11 paper size because they match the brand I’m working with, but if I had to guess the thickness of the paper wasn’t over 100lbs because first I tried printing with 100lb card stock Matte and it print okay not perfect. the printer i have only has one entrance so I have to invest in one like yours but I’m not sure of the model. So my paper does curl unfortunately and it’s an hp laser jet m203dw
Why does my foiling turn out patchy? Like it's all ok but there's these little black patches where foil doesn't stick on when I let it through my laminator. My laminator doesn't have heating settings.
yes Traci. Most of the ones I looked at were out of stock. I know that Nancy has no control on that but it is frustrating that companies dont have adequate supplies for affiliate links
@@deborahlittlefield7435 oh, I'm not blaming her. I get it's the company. Like I said it's just frustrating cuz it happens all the time. I watch a video & click on the affiliate links that are provided & almost always everything is out of stock. This was always the case even before this Pandemic. If anything it's even worse now because they can't get the product back in. 😔😔😔
@@tracilord4854 I feel the pain as well Traci. One day I hope to be in the front of the line and get something that is popular before it sells out. LOL. Take care and happy crafting!
You are using the wrong foil. You are using hot foil instead of toner foil. Or you are using a coated paper that the foil is sticking to. (Sticker papers)
I tried skimming through the comments to see if anyone else has asked this or a similar question; Does anyone know how to find all these extra print setting dialogue boxes on a MacBook computer? My printer dialogue boxes are so generic and offer very little options when it comes to printing quality, media type, and especially all the extra toner output options shown in this video! Can anyone help!? I have a similar printer to this one in Nancy’s video, but mine is the Brother HL-L2390dw monochrome laser printer. If that info helps any…
Make sure you have the appropriate Brother printer driver installed. There are instructions on the Brother site. I just went through this exact thing yesterday, and now I have access to the settings that Nancy showed in the video.
I had the same problem, it turned out I had the wrong drivers installed, this video helped me solving the issue - ua-cam.com/video/FnHsYobka5c/v-deo.html and now I have all the settings

You are using hot foil that's the wrong kind. You need toner foil. Hot foil has adhesive and sticks to everything.
Mine does what the pink foil did even with the minc and deco foil. I am at a loss.
It could be your paper. Is it coated?
@@NancyStamps I’m not sure what you mean by coated.
It is a clear glossy sticker paper. Two different brands. It does work on regular paper though.
@@SaraEmmaLouise the clear glossy sticker paper is melting causing the foil to stick. You need to change brands of sticker paper.

So the toner basically transferred over into the foil 🙄🥲🥲🥲 so bizzare i purchased and hp printer haven’t changed the laser jet toner I’m assuming they send the new printers off with cheap toner because it prints pretty sucky
Hi Katherine, what kind of paper did you use? And you turned toner fixation on and had it come out the back door so it doesn't curl?
@@NancyStamps so I honestly purchased gift bags and cut them into 8x11 paper size because they match the brand I’m working with, but if I had to guess the thickness of the paper wasn’t over 100lbs because first I tried printing with 100lb card stock Matte and it print okay not perfect. the printer i have only has one entrance so I have to invest in one like yours but I’m not sure of the model. So my paper does curl unfortunately and it’s an hp laser jet m203dw
Maybe the gift bags are coated?
Hello
What printer model is this please? Thank you
Also would love to know the answer to this please!
Link to duster brush?
First link in description, toner folder.
I really need to purchase a colour printer rather than a monochrome. Does anyone know any colour laser printer that works with toner foil?
Why does my foiling turn out patchy? Like it's all ok but there's these little black patches where foil doesn't stick on when I let it through my laminator. My laminator doesn't have heating settings.
It's the laminator not getting hot enough. Let it heat up for at least 30 mins. Not all laminator can get hot enough
@@NancyStamps thank you, I'll try it out!
what is the best temperature ?
That depends on your surface. I usually use 3 but thicker cardstock requires more heat. The minc is adjustable from 0 (no heat) up to 5.
Can it handle 280gsm cardstock? The specs says 60-160gsm only
Yes, it has a front feed that I can put heavier cardstock into and it comes out the back
Tfs but it's so frustrating that the foil you recommend & link to are basically all out of stock. 😔
yes Traci. Most of the ones I looked at were out of stock. I know that Nancy has no control on that but it is frustrating that companies dont have adequate supplies for affiliate links
@@deborahlittlefield7435 oh, I'm not blaming her. I get it's the company. Like I said it's just frustrating cuz it happens all the time. I watch a video & click on the affiliate links that are provided & almost always everything is out of stock. This was always the case even before this Pandemic. If anything it's even worse now because they can't get the product back in. 😔😔😔
You can google Textile Foil but the prices are much higher at the other places. Just keep checking back every week for a restock.
@@tracilord4854 I feel the pain as well Traci. One day I hope to be in the front of the line and get something that is popular before it sells out. LOL. Take care and happy crafting!
Why is my foil transferring where there is no laser toner?
You are using the wrong foil. You are using hot foil instead of toner foil. Or you are using a coated paper that the foil is sticking to. (Sticker papers)
CAN YOU TONER FOIL ON THE GEMINI? GLIMMER?
No. The Gemini FoilPress and the Spellbinders Glimmer are HOT foil machines.
@@NancyStamps are they differ than the micx machine?
Yes. Very different foil and machines.
It should be considered false advertising to claim that a product is “hot foil” when it’s not meant for laminator or other machine use.
Well they do use "heat" I guess.
I tried skimming through the comments to see if anyone else has asked this or a similar question; Does anyone know how to find all these extra print setting dialogue boxes on a MacBook computer? My printer dialogue boxes are so generic and offer very little options when it comes to printing quality, media type, and especially all the extra toner output options shown in this video! Can anyone help!? I have a similar printer to this one in Nancy’s video, but mine is the Brother HL-L2390dw monochrome laser printer. If that info helps any…
Make sure you have the appropriate Brother printer driver installed. There are instructions on the Brother site. I just went through this exact thing yesterday, and now I have access to the settings that Nancy showed in the video.
I had the same problem, it turned out I had the wrong drivers installed, this video helped me solving the issue - ua-cam.com/video/FnHsYobka5c/v-deo.html and now I have all the settings
Some of you foiling fiends 🤣🤣🤣
I wanted to get this one but I doesn’t have wifi 😞 and I use a laptop 🥺
There is a wifi version. Mine is wireless. The cheaper one is not. Check your local office supply store.
@@NancyStamps I found one 😍 thank you 🙏🏼
Aww man so you can’t use this printer with a laptop 🥲
I’m having so much trouble with my printer... Is that printer you have almost $425??
No it's around $100
@@NancyStamps I think it's discontinued so people are selling for $400+ Any idea on what the newer or replacement model is?
Dolly is bigger than most. Ha, ha!
