Another great video. Thank you.
Can you please let me know what font that is? It's gorgeous!
Wow
Hi, I love your font. Which one is it?

Si può fare anche su plexiglas?
Hello can you do this with translucent paper as well?
What is that machine?
how do you get the image on the card? regular printer the add the foil
hi this is a great tutorial. The foil / black laserjet print looks high quality! I bought my laser printer but it looks low quality. What is the printer you used?
Hi what printer did you use and ink to print the design before you make the foil transfer?
Up to what thickness paper can the machine handle, please? Also, do you have to print ie. the invitation in black ink first, and then hot foil stamp? Ta x
where can i.buy.the laminating sheet you.use?
Nice video. I want to know what u did or how u print on the card the design before putting the foil. 1. I mean have u screen or print on laser or what else u have done so the foil stick to the card. 2. Its ok for thin or normal sheet but If i have a texture paper 300gsm that cant be insert in laser printer what i have to do for that condition. Any other way to print on the card 1st and then foil.
Hi! i have this minc! but i have `problems with the foil i print the invitation on black toner laser, but it doesnt added as you show in your video I pass 2 times in the machine but it doesnt work dont fit good, live black spaces, WHat didi you recommendede me?
Hi I'm trying to create my own invitation.. I would like to insert the design but I can't do it.. I watched on of your video with flower on top but I want this design..
Laserjet printer right?
cual es el.nombre de la máquina? para poder comprar una
is it compulsory to use transfer folders?
What paper lbs do you use? And do you have tutorial in how to do floral design on the side of the envelopes? :)
please please please!!! where did you get your foil
Where do you purchase tour foil in bulk from?
Where can I find a design like that for an invitation?
hi! where do you purchase big roll of gold foil. thanks!
Hi Mae, we source our foil in volume quantities from our wholesaler who unfortunately do not sell to the public. I can however recommend the Heidi Swapp or Papilio foil as both products are high quality.
does the printed design have to be raised so that the foil sticks to it? I am just learning about this!! I love the look of foil
+Dulce Rodriguez hi, no. The foil sticks directly to laser printer toner. There is no raised area.
Hello!! Love this tutorial. Beautiful outcome!! I have a question. When I try to foil mine gets wrinkle when passing thru the minc machine :( and I can't achieve full gold coverage. This happens only on the text area of my design. Any tips to avoid this? I notice your foil comes out super flat and adhered to the area. Would love to achieve that. Thanks so much!
+Lyna By Desig hi, are you foiling paper/text weight stock rather than thicker cardstock? I find when I foil paper it wrinkles around the text due to the heat/moisture.
Do you use a regular printer to print the design? So you ca foil it
+Angie Nar Transfer foil sticks to laser printer toner, so as long as you have a laser printer (any brand) it should work.
Do you have to use a laser printer only....I haven't gotten anything to work as of yet...I have the Minc Mini
+Vicki Elliott Yes, unfortunately transfer foil only sticks to laser toner.
Hi. if my design have a lot of color and i print it en laser toner.... the foil will sticks only in the black color? o will be everywhere?
It depends on how much colour you design has and the quality of your laser toner. If the colour your printer outputs has black to make up the colour (e.g.. purple) then you maybe have foil stick to that colour slightly. You would need to experiment and see what's works on your paper.
Hi! Does your foil always stick to the design? No black spots ever? When I foil it's a lot of hit and miss..tried various foils, papers, heat settings..if I get 2-3 foiled that are ok, the next ones start to have missing spots..with the same settings as the ones that came out ok...it is so frustrating..can you provide a link for that foil you're using? thx so much!
99% off the time I get no black spots and perfect coverage. The other 1 percent is based on dust particles that settle after the transfer folder is closed that I can't remove. Try using a lint free cloth to wipe down the paper before putting the foil down and see if that helps. Good luck!

I have a question I have tried to use this method to foil some invitations but when I peel off the foil the surrounding areas where the foil touched (besides the laser wording) gets full of foil as well. I tried several laser printers but the outcome is the same.
+Marco Garcia Hi there, it's difficult to tell the cause as a number of factors could contribute to this occurring. Good to hear you have started troubleshooting by using different printers. Unfortunately it's just a process of elimination such as trying different paper types, changing the heat sitting, making sure 100% black toner is being printed and not a combination of colours to make black which some printers do, or a different model of heat transfer applicator. Some laser printers also leave residual toner on the laser printer drum/fuser which can be very difficult to eliminate as the foil could stick to this also. Try each thing separately to help determine the cause and you will hopefully have success. Best of luck!
Hi, can I use any hot stamping foil for pepper? Because I can not find Deco foil in my country. Thanks!
Hi Jelisaveta. Did you solve the problem yet? I live in Bosnia. I order Minc foil on Amazon regularly. It's expensive though. Try Craft Direct, they do not charge shipping a lot but are a bit more expensive from the beginning. I think there is a wholesaler/retailer in Belgrade who distributes foil in bulks for "zlatotisak" but I have not tried them yet. You can also ask someone who is into traditional hot stamping/gold foiling for help. Cheers!
hi! how can i order it come to Vietnam?
Hi! do you find sometimes the heat fades text that isn't being foiled that you still cover with paper?
thanks
+Celeste V hi, ever since we started using the baking paper we have never had a problem as it is non stick. When we used just the copy paper, it did diminish the quality.
Hi! I've been using a laminator for this purpose, but I find that (especially) when I sandwich my design between parchment paper and protective paper layer, it leaves roller marks. Does the Minc eliminate this problem? Thanks!
It is hard to say what your issue could be and if the Minc will eliminate your problem, but I do know that I do not get roller marks because I use a transfer folder (clear plastic folder) and do not sandwich between a protective paper layer. Also, your laminator may be pushing the paper through too hard. Good luck!
what program do you use for the designs? they are beautiful
+Juanita Zapata Thank you! We use InDesign and Illustrator.
hello does this foil method only work on white paper? Or can I use like a navy blue?
daniqua goulbourne Hi there, it works well with any colour as long as the cardstock is smooth (not textured). It also works with slightly textured but you would need to test as it can have a mottled look.
hi there. did you use glue on the design to make the foil stick onto the paper?
+Daniela Abreu With this machine, the foil sticks to the black laser toner (not inkjet) as it passes through the heat, so no glue is used.
Hi there can you please advise what brand of paper you are using? I bought some metallic card stock for my wedding invitations to foil with using my minc and they come out really splotchy. If you could link me to where you purchase your paper so I can get beautiful clean foiling that would be much appreciated.
+Kirsty Mossman I used 'Stardream - Crystal' in this video. It's best to experiment with papers as not all paper batches/finishes/transfer foils are the same. I would recommend using a ultra smooth paper as it works best with the minc rather than something that has a little bit of texture.
Eternal Stationery thank you for your reply, that is the same exact cardstock and colour that I had ordered but I can't for the life of me get my foil to come out perfect like yours :( not too sure what else to do! Thank you for your reply anyway, your invitations are beautiful.
El foil se pega con la impresión a láser? Gracias...
Yes, when you use a laser printer with 100% black toner (not colour) the foil will stick to the black toner.
Gracias!! :)
Hi there.....can you tell me what laser printer you used for this process
Much appreciated
+BoticFC We used the Xerox C75 but you could use any laser printer as long as the toner is 100% k (black)
What brand is your foil?
Hi Sarahi, we source our foil in volume quantities from our wholesaler who unfortunately do not sell to the public. I can however recommend the Heidi Swapp or Papilio foil as both products are high quality.
if i print out in a dark blue shade will the gold foil stick to it? or does is have to be black toner only?
+Sylvia Herrera if you print any shade that does not contain any black toner whatsoever the gold foil will not stick to it.
ok thank you. that way i don't waste any paper.
+Sylvia Herrera I would recommend trying it first. And to clarify your black/'K' toner (CMYK) values should be 0%.
I'm going to print out a test one tomorrow and see how it works.
what laser printer do you have? that takes 5x7 paper?
+ale77064 Most printers that can print letter or A4 size paper can print 5x7. We have a few printing presses (eg. Xerox C75, OKI C610)
Oh ok because I just bought an epson3640 laser but wont seem to take the size of the paper
Hello, can you use 80# cardstock with this machine?
+Summer Talent you can use up to 350gsm but testing is recommended.
What does 350 gsm convert to in pounds? Thank you so much for your help 😊
+Summer Talent approximately 130lbs
Great thank you! 💕
Will the pieces that are not being foiled still lift with the parchment paper? I'm finding when I foil only pieces of my project, what is exposed lifts and transfers over to my carrier sheet.
I understand your intent with the parchment paper is to keep it from transferring to the carrier sheet, but will the exposed parts transfer over to the parchment paper? I hope that makes more sense. :)
+Nayeli Garza I have used baking paper on top of the exposed text and the text has never lifted, the baking paper is clean every time I foil a project due to the non stick properties within the baking paper. I have tried using normal white printer paper in place of baking paper and found that printer paper stuck to the exposed text and the result was less than perfect. Hope that helps!
Hi! did you print the pattern used in word? and would you be able to do a how too video on how to do it. thank you.
+Nica V hi, no this patten was made in Adobe Illustrator. The graphic however can be placed into word and printed from there.
How did you put the design on the card first!?
By using a program called illustrator
