Many years ago I started with an Adana letter press printing machine, then bought an H85 Hot Foil Machine which I eventually sold a few years ago, however, being I am now semi retired I am looking to start up printing again as I am waiting for a Scandinavian log cabin to be built for the purpose of printing, the printer you have been demonstrating looks absolutely ideal so thank you very much for a very good demonstration.
Thank you for the video! For hot foil stamping, can I laser cut a stamp/die out of silicone rubber? I make a lot of very short-run items and looking to quickly make my dies and merge that with hot foiling somehow. Silicone rubber can be laser cut/engraved and silicone rubber stamps have been used in hot foiling. Correct? Thank you!
Hi Harry! 👋........i got that same machine thanks for your review. Question did you have issues with getting the foil printed clearly!? Im having some issue with seeing my logo name clearly......its not coming out clean. Any advise!? I pram up the heat and its still the same. 😢
Does the machine have a facility for the foil to be fed onto a spool which automatically moves along, without having to place a piece of foil on what you require to print as this would be time consuming on multiple runs.
@@harryrogers Thank you Harry, it is a shame because on multiple runs such as business cards it would be more time consuming to move along by hand, otherwise I would have ordered one.
The video did make me think of a question, though not quite on topic. You mentioned veg tanned leather as being softer, and that got me wondering what sorts of processes make leather harder or softer. I have a really nice set of wood handled chisels that have leather pads in between the handle and the base of the chisel blade, and after chopping some rather large mortices though oak and hickory, the leather bit on my 3/4" chisel split and fell out. I replaced it with some scrap that I had on hand, but it's fairly soft (I don't know what kind of tanning process, I just bought scraps from a surplus store) and I notice it starting to give already. Do you have any recommendation for a leather to use in this application? I'd like to not have to take the handle off too many times and have the tang get loose in the hole.
A little trick, no matter if you use your logo, write a person's name on a personalized product or you want to print a flower, a horse or whatever, under the skin puts a 2 or 3 mm cardboard, you will see the difference

Congratulations Harry on 100K!
Thanks very much Jason
You’ll have to show us that creator award when you get it! Well deserved I might add.
Congratulations on 100k subscribers :)
Thank you for such wonderful tutorial. Hopefully I can find this machine in the U.S.A. Kudos !!

Nice bit of kit, love the positioning tip too.
Thanks Mexie Mex, it is very good.
Nice embossing n debossing Kool everything with heat sticks better God bless mate
Would you post up some more info on the acetate sheets you used for this? I didn't see anything when following the links.
Hi they are very good, I am sure if you phone Creative Printers they can let you know, that's where mine came from.
Thanks for making this Harry. Just wondering what the minimum thickness of leather should be to get a good deboss and foil effect?
Harry another great video. Smart bit of kit I know where to come if I need some embossed
Haha yes it's very good! Thanks Paul.

Perhaps try some different foil?
@harryrogers even though the foil was from them!? Where do you recommend I buy from?
@@Eussub40 I did not have this problem but I would ask CPL for help.
Harry, do you know which font size the CPL brass type letters were that you used in the video please? Kind regards,Susan
I think these were 36pt
Harry.....Your acetate needs to have grid lines on it the you can see that you can get work parallel to the type.....
Yes good idea.

Hi it has spools for the foil...you need to move it along by hand.

A piece of medium to firm temper veg tan should do the job.
Ooops! You've mentioned about availability in the U.S. ; Thanks!
