Dang. I foil maybe once a year...never knew all this stuff...and it explains aome failures..oh well luve and learn..NO ONE TELLS U ALL THIS..just use this uae that.. Thanks.
6:13-6:28: Top tip! I've had my Brother MFC-2740W printer for YEARS. When I started crafting, I bought an inkjet printer and never looked back…until yesterday, when I came home with my Minc foil applicator😊
Thanks for this video! I would have never figured out that too much heat caused my foiling to come out looking bad or that sometimes it's just extra toner from my printer.
“Toner Foiling and Hot Foiling” wow, right there you said more then the other 20 videos I’ve watched. Who would know this? After all, I was thinking that laminators and irons are hot. So in my mind all the foils were Hot.
A fairly new toiler started with laminator but on your recommendation I looked for a Minc in Australia . Mini very hard to find and then needed a different plug. Spotlight had a sale so paid $169 on a mama minc . Very happy with results.
5:30 Yes, take your image to a copy shop. If they have a lazer printer fine, but any copy machine that uses toner will work... I use the copier at the office. 💖🌞🌵😷
This video was filmed before they launched them. Yes I have a link for them PINK and MAIN: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1047151&u=2294948&m=73505&urllink=&afftrack=
Thank you, Nancy! Your videos on the subject of foiling are absolutely the best. The organization/presentation of material is logical, thorough and very clearly delivered. I will be referencing (and recommending) your videos whenever I "need to know"!
I typically always forget to run a trial printing until I’ve already messed up several times on the good paper. I’ll have to remember to do it in the reverse order to save myself some frustration!😅
The toner being the adhesive made me think of what else could be used instead of foil, and I tried with royal gold mica powder, it works, looks beautiful, but takes four times through a basic 12" laminator, a Minc on the highest setting would probably be much better for this. it takes a very light coating, and I used a makeup brush for the powder application. With it working with mica powder, you could probably use any fine powder, there is even glitter dust that would probably work.
Just to confirm the “textile” foil from HH is the correct ones right? lol nervous about buying the wrong one again 🤦🏾♀️ this video helped me sooooooo much
@@NancyStamps yes, I said that for the fact that it *didn’t stick to inkjet* which meant I could do toner on inkjet pieces for blocking the foil out! which has worked wonderfully so far! 🥰
Okay, old person here. This video is full of information, but it seems to be coming in chunks from all over her presentation (I take notes, and when my pencil is moving all over the paper to find where the info will do the most good, then I figure the presentation isn't very organized). Still, well worth the effort for all the good information. Thank you!
Thanks for watching. Lots of videos in my toner foil playlist for you to refer back to. Usually the longer videos are live, so there is chat back and forth.
I absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for going over toner foiling again. Each time I see/hear it the more I can remember. Which foil is the blue with green. It looks like something oceany?
I have a brother b&w laser printer and successfully used toner foils on on my stickers in the past. I replaced the cartridge with a generic one when it finally ran out, and now my foiling is not working! Very hit or miss. I am using my same minc foils and same sticker paper as usual b/c I have a billion sheets amazon laminator, Printed and cut stickers with my silhouette... literally nothing different. Also, to test it I foiled some pre-purchased minc stickers I had in my stash and they were fine. Have you seen that a replacement toner has created problems for foiling?
Hi. I am new to foiling. This video is amazing and clarified so many questions I had. Tx. I wonder if you can foil vellum or acetate in Minc and what setting? Can you re run a foiled image that missed black spots? Are Transfer sheet and toner sheet the same? Finally, do you think it’s possible to reuse discarded toner from a toner cartridge as powder over a Sticky stamped image and foil in Minc? Tx much.
I found out the hard and long way that some papers do not work, I am trying to make my son and FDIL wedding invitations, I had them printed on glossy paper at the print shop, NOPE not working, I tried metalique was ok but not the best. I finally got it right using semi gloss paper and Minc foil. :) and of course my local stores do not have the gold foil, so Amazon here I come.
I have a Minc machine that's several years old. I'm assuming it's still good to use for foiling. I don't know if there are newer models & whether I need to buy 1 (not really in my budget as extra $ currently goes for hubby's cancer meds.). Also my fax machine is also a laser printer so I think it's ok to use that (it's a Brother but I don't know what the dpi rating is).
Love it, but what about black paper for wedding invites? I was told by the Office Depot lady ( where I am printing the invites) NOT TO GET SUCH A THIN PAPER ( 65 lbs)... she said wedding invitations need to be around 100 lbs. 😢
Traditionally wedding invites should be thicker, unless you are trying to foil them from home. You can always print & foil in 65lb and then layer onto a thicker card base. You wouldn't just print and fold the card. Layers make it elegant. Maybe put a piece of vellum in between.
Will any sticker sheet work for foiling?? I am trying to make a valentines card, and I dont have the right paper, but i do have sticker sheets. yellow back.

Hi Nancy, thank you for the very informative video! I have had one question burning my brain for a very long time now. Can you do laser printer ink foiling on the printed image using an ink jet? Meaning, I print my colorful image with inkjet, then print the wording on top of that with laser jet and do foiling. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here. Thank you.
thank you so is there no way to print a label with a pink background and only have the letters foiled? I have a laser printer but want my labels t have a colored background and not just white.
I tried foiling with laser printer and deco foil and 300gsm watercolour paper card it worked in some areas but missed loads. Is it the Pepe choice do you think. I’m doing my own wedding invites ❤
Thank you for this video. I went and bought some Michaels 65 lb recollections paper today and did a test run with it. The white paper with a minc on setting 4 with H&H gold foil appears to have 98% - 99% or greater foil adhesion with some very minor black specks where it didn't foil. Overall, it seems like this type of paper is excellent for toner foiling. In your opinion, which do you think is the best for toner foiling: Hamilco 80lb, Hammermill 60lb, or Michaels 65 lb? Or are they all about the same? Thanks again.
Question: why did some of the results show dirty marks from your printer while others didn’t? The second to the last, on black paper, you stated it was from cleaning your printer and on the last, on the clear sticker paper, was clean. I’m just a little confused. Thanks for this video.
I tried foiling a few weeks back, and it came out a bit... grainy? chalky? When I peeled it off, the stamping looked rough. I outsourced the printing and laminating. You mentioned that thick papers tend to be porous. It was a 200gsm paper, not sure the equivalent in lbs. I wonder if the problem was with the toner, or the paper or the foil itself? Or probably the heat of the laminator. I forgot to say, there were also parts that didn't get foiled while some parts were ok. I wonder why that is?
@@NancyStamps aw, sadly, I know no one with a Minc. And it's not available in our country. I'm from SEA. I actually tried foiling again earlier before I read your reply. And yes, the problem still exists. Some parts were still not getting stamped. And a few parts with over foiling. I now have added a few more theories: 1. Maybe my design was a bit too thin. I noticed those were the ones not getting foiled. 2. When I laminate without wax paper on top, the foil clings to the laminator roller. Yikes. The thing is, if it has wax paper, the temperature tends to drop even if I had the laminator on for 30 minutes. 3. You're probably right, it's the laminator not hot enough. The max setting for the one I'm using is 200C. I wonder how else to fix these. An iron?
Ok well I have hundreds of videos on foiling and ripping it off when the foil hasn't bonded means you will have black spots. But you do whatever you prefer.

omg this video saved me lol. I was foiling labels and was getting over foiling. I was using the wrong foil. Thank you soooo much for this video!
Great information!! I typed up notes to share with some crafty friends. I will encourage them to watch too. :)
It’s amazing how many times you can answer the same question over and over again!
Yes, it comes up over and over.

Thanks for yet another informative video for newbies like me - and thanks for the UK recommendation!! Really helpful to know where to go x
Always good to go back to basics even after foiling for a while. Haven’t tried printing on black paper yet so that will be my next project
So true!
Its nice u point theres 2 types of foioing... Coz i actually dont know d diffs
Impressive Empress

Just starting out. Never foiled before.
Hello from Illinois, thank you Nancy for being so inspiring and super helpful with all of your tutorials.
So glad I found this video because I just was to get into this so I have no idea… really good info … thanks!

The colored paper is usually porous

Hi What is the thickest card stock you have done? i'm using 100lb card stock will this work 270gsm.
So since the over foiling is bec of your machine. With more use will it work its way out.
Are you going to include the quilling pens? With what and foil etc?
The FoilQuill pens work with Hot Foil. I didn't really use them. There are Facebook groups that specialize in them though.

I do not see any links for the paper you said you would leave links for. Also cannot find the brush links. Thank you for the video.💖💖
The brush& paper are in the Amazon shop in the toner foil folder.
Hi Nancy. How about Hammermill 100lb paper? Will that work well with toner printing? 🤔 it works wonderful with the glimmer machine.
The 60lb is better, but it depends on your image and your laser printer.
I stick with 65lb or sometimes 80lb but my laser printer won't feed 100lb paper so can't use that for toner printing.
Hi Nancy, thank you for the very informative video! I have had one question burning my brain for a very long time now. Can you do laser printer ink foiling on the printed image using an ink jet? Meaning, I print my colorful image with inkjet, then print the wording on top of that with laser jet and do foiling. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here. Thank you.
Yes. Do your inkjet printing and then the laser & foil. The problem is lining up 2 different printers.
FYI...in Australia the Minc machines are around $210
Can you do a letter? I am to foil envelopes
Yes as long as it's super smooth envelope
Not me watching this video with my We R Memory Keepers foil all over my cardstock wondering what the hell to do 😅😂

Can you use the foil quill, go press and foil or the gemini foil press foil on the spellbinders hot foil system?
Yes. All hot foils will work

Have you used the minc machine to laminate 10 mil laminate sheets? Or do you know if the momma minc can?
Yes I have and yes you can. Make sure you put them inside the carrier sheets and use heat setting 2 or 3
What laser printer do you use? Wanting to do some foiling and wanting some good recommendations. Thanks
In the description in my Amazon shop Toner foiling folder. The Brother mono laser printer with rear exit.
If I print at a copy shop, and then foil a few days later, will the toner foil still adhere? Or do I need to do it immediately?
You can foil whenever you are ready. No rush

thank you so is there no way to print a label with a pink background and only have the letters foiled? I have a laser printer but want my labels t have a colored background and not just white.
Print a pink background in pink with an inkket printer. Then print again with a laser printer in black and foil that

I tried foiling with laser printer and deco foil and 300gsm watercolour paper card it worked in some areas but missed loads. Is it the Pepe choice do you think. I’m doing my own wedding invites ❤
Watercolor paper is too porous and bumpy. You need smoother paper.
@@NancyStamps aw damn have you any recommended paper you’d use for wedding invites that are kinda luxurious like that. Thanks for your reply 🙌🏼❤️
@@prettylittlenailsbeauty751 not really you needed super smooth paper for the best results. You could try vellum, but it's tough.
Will 100lb cardstock paper work with foiling?
Paper doesn't need to be thick as long as it's super thick. We recommend Hamilco in my Amazon shop if you want 100lb.
Brand new to foiling and I purchased all the wrong foil! Does the H&H foil work on paper? It is advertised for clothes? Thank you.
Yes. It's toner foil. Works on clothes if you use a special fabric adhesive with it.
@@NancyStamps thankyou!
ripples in the foil causing black spots (spots not foiled)
Too hot or wrong foil used
Thank you for this video. I went and bought some Michaels 65 lb recollections paper today and did a test run with it. The white paper with a minc on setting 4 with H&H gold foil appears to have 98% - 99% or greater foil adhesion with some very minor black specks where it didn't foil.

In your opinion, which do you think is the best for toner foiling: Hamilco 80lb, Hammermill 60lb, or Michaels 65 lb? Or are they all about the same? Thanks again.
The Hamilco is #1, Hammermill only comes in white, I recommend the recollections for colored projects. So you can't go wrong with any of them.

Could I laminate 10 mil sheets in a Minc
Yes you can laminate in the minc. Make sure you use the minc carrier sheet over it.

Those are hot foil

Turn your heat down. Minc foil is not a Brand I recommend. There are other companies you can get that are better.
Which foils do you recommend instead of Heidi swap mink?
Check description & we have companies we try in Foiling Snobs Club on Facebook we try depending where you live.
Man...the 12 inch is running 142.00..once a year...nope not for me.
