I’m a paper crafter. You can also use a laminator for the foiling. I use the $20 Royal Sovereign from Walmart. The Minc does work better. But it’s costly. Budget friend laminator does a great job.
This is so cool! 🦋 I don't have a laser printer or laminator but now i want to save up so i can try some designs - I'll be sure to check out your shop in the meantime - thx! :)
Wow, this is awesome! When I need a new printer I will consider getting a laser one just for this. I wouldn't go buy one just decals. I'm not that crazy... Yet! 🤣
Are you using a special setting on your laser printer? A lot of us aren’t getting the same result no matter what type of paper we use. Are you able to provide detail on what settings your putting your printer on for this video or is it exactly the same as your other video?
So i use a laser printer on inkjet paper? That's confusing at first lol I have a laser printer and i use laser waterslide decal paper for my normal decals. Would the foil stick to the whole decal?
as Sadler Up Nails said, yes it would stick to the whole sheet. it has to do with the coating on the paper. Specialty papers for laser printers are designed so that the toner will bond to the paper surface when printing. what makes the toner stick, is the same stuff as what is making the foil bond. does that make sense? so when you print on inkjet paper, with laser toner - the foil only sticks to the toner - as the paper itself doesn't hold any attraction for the foil to adhere to.
May I ask why you wouldn't be able to foil inkjet paper? I'm assuming it probably has something to do with how inkjet uses ink to print and laser uses like a powder ink right. Based off what I been reading. I'm new to this. I'm just wondering if I did try to foil inkjet what would happen?
The foil DOES work on inkjet paper only. On Laser paper the foil sticks to the entire sheet not just the images. Laser paper seems to be sticky vs. the inkjet paper.
You wanna use a combo of Inkjet PAPER + Laser PRINTER for this method (yes the difference in printers is that ink on top of paper via liquid ink & laser “burns” the image into the paper via toner)
Hey! so I used laser clear waterslide paper, laser printer and a Minc. the foil stuck to the page and won't flake off. It was on setting 4, as well. any ideas what the deal may be?
Your temp is too high. Try lower temp, maybe faster speed if that doesn’t get you there. I have a laminator that allows temp and speed control. I use deco foil at 158 F at speed 3, which is slow.
Hi, Thanks for the tutorial! I bought this for my hobby building but find it's lifting the ink off the decal paper. Are you treating the paper with anything first? Really appreciate your video, Thanks!
@@SadlerUpNails You're terrific! I figured it out, I was using the wrong paper.... Now I need to find a printer that doesn't smear and I'm laughing! Thank you!
I have all the right products but for some reason my foil sticks to the entire page (not just my design) 😩 even on minc setting 1!!! I’m so confused hahahaha please help 😅
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I got the laser printer, I used transparent waterslide decal paper, I have the minc laminator, I’m using the minc holographic paper, I’m printing the design in black, and doing everything exactly like you but somehow it’s not working for me. I’ve been trying with different papers, printers, laminators. I was so happy when I saw that it actually worked for someone else, but I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I literally have tried everything. I even bought the same paper brand you had to see if that was it. So disappointed with myself. But thank you for the video, it gave me hope when I watched it.
Sadler Up Nails hey thank you for replaying. I ended up trying with another paper. When I founded your video I was already trying to make the stickers. I found another video not related to nail decals but it gave me the basics. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t find the right paper since the begging and I was so happy with your video, but despite I was using everything like you did, even the laser printer, the same paper, it didn’t worked for me. I didn’t desisted so I finally founded a paper that works and I’m so happy 🤗. I learned that when it comes to foiling, some papers work better others, and not just for water slide decals, for any type of foil application. Either way, thank you for everything, your video is amazing it explain everything to detail and I’m sure it’s been helpful for a lot of people.
I have another laminator, but what type of pouches are you using? Mine will all stick together. I'm doing your other video ua-cam.com/video/EeFYQ9CuvXU/v-deo.html, so excited! I'm going to spray 2x and apply tomorrow. But this looks so cool!
This video is amazing. Like others i was struggling with the foil sticking to all of the sheet and not just the toner. I realised after HOURS of contemplating throwing my Minc out the window… i realised this works with clear waterslide paper and not white waterslide. Hope that helps some one and i hope all the hair i pulled out grows back 😂
PLEASE HELP!!! Could you or one of your viewers please help me with this one? I've tried the foil waterslide every way I know how, and the foil keeps sticking everywhere EXCEPT to the toner. I've tried the foil toner I've used for months on transparencies that worked on them, I got some gina k. foil and another brand of toner foil from amazon. They all do the same thing. I tried the waterslides I've used normally, and I bought some Hayes waterslides. I used my long-time laminator, and I bought a new amazon basics laminator. Now I even have a Minc 12". None of them work for this at any temp. They ALL leave a lot of foil on the areas outside the toner, but nothing on the toner. I use a Brother laser printer. I've tried 2 knockoff brands of toner and the genuine Brother brand. Still no good. PLEASE HELP!
@@SadlerUpNails Thank you! I immediately noticed that the inkjet paper wasn't as sticky. I tried it with 2 different toner foils. It was a little better, but the foil still sticks some outside of the toner and won't come off. I REALLY want to be able to do this. Thanks!
@@SadlerUpNails Thank you. That's what I'm using. With the foil being bonded to everything, I'm thinking that maybe my printer is putting a small amount of toner everywhere, just not enough to show. So the foil is sticking to all of that, too. I'm going to have a shop print one for me and see if that works. Seriously - thank you for sharing the technique and for all of your help.
@@SadlerUpNails I took my file to OfficeMax and had them print it on my waterslide paper. I brought it home and tried three different brands of foils I had been working with. Every one of them worked beautifully. So now I know it's my laser printer, apparently putting a light, invisible coat of toner over the whole sheet of waterslide paper. It's probably the drum (I tried 2 different new toners). I'm over $300 into this deal already, so I guess now I just need to buy a $100 drum or another $250 laser printer. I just wasn't going to let it defeat me... whatever it takes. Thanks for the idea of foiling waterslide paper and for all of your help.

Thank you!
First, you are amazing, second... Does it have to be a laser printer? You can't use an inkjet printer?
It has to be laser for the foil ones. The foil adheres to the toner.
you can use inkjet then run both the decal plus foil through a lamination machine
Which one is your last video? I wanted to know the sizes of the images
Are you using laser water slide paper?
Please, what is the brand of decal paper you are using? I have tried this a million times with minc foil on minc machine. Help... thanks
Are you using a special setting on your laser printer? A lot of us aren’t getting the same result no matter what type of paper we use. Are you able to provide detail on what settings your putting your printer on for this video or is it exactly the same as your other video?
No special setting. Make sure your printer is laser that uses toner. The foil sticks to the toner.

Hey girlie could I use my circuit
I’m not sure.
Im a little confused. So you print on water decal paper and then put foil down and then laminate it on?
Yes, you need the heat from the laminator for the foil to adhere to the ink/toner.

You need to use inkjet water slide paper. The laser paper is too sticky.

@@SadlerUpNails what if I spray the adhesive glossy top coat I use to make the ink not run in water
Why do you need a laser printer instead of a regular one?
A laser printer uses toner instead of ink which is what the foil sticks to when heated in the laminator.

It has to be laser because laser uses toner. The foil adheres to the toner when it’s heated. It doesn’t work with Inkjet, I tried.
Can the laser printer work for regular decals like the ones you made in your other video? Or do you need both printers for each decal?

@@carolstewart1704 Thank you.
OMG!!!!!!!!!! This is amazing!! Thank you for sharing.
You can also use a home laminator instead of the minc machine - cheaper option!
Yes! Found that out after I bought the Minc!
Omg I’m gonna buy one at Walmart. When I look for one just put home laminator l?
Is a thermal laminator the same ? Sorry 😔
I thought this very thing while watching - so excited to use our laminator to try this out once I get the paper!!
Can you use an injet printer? Is that a special pouch for any laminator?
For foil you need to use a laser printer because the foil sticks to the toner. The pouch came with the laminator but you can put it between paper instead.
have been waiting fora vid like this for YEARS! thank u
