The piece on the right in this image is ok to use - the piece on the left will leave a little black circle on your print. I've had a few of you contact me saying that you would like to try gold foil printing but don't have some of the technical skills required. My Laser Printer - this has sadly been discontinued as I have an OKI C301dn :( I do need a new printer though as I think mine is coming to the end of it's life now. I was just wondering if you only want a section of your print foiled, would you put the print back through the printer after foiling? To my mind it is the superior option because it has different foiling settings for different media types e.

I must say there is a huge difference as the laminators were giving me patchy and inconsistent results. The minc also comes with a transfer folder which is ace for putting your prints through the machine. so make sure your foil covers your whole image – there is nothing worse than getting a perfect print with a tiny edge missing. However, I have found that the greaseproof paper can crease in the laminator and create massive creases on your beautiful print which are then impossible to get out.To enjoy all that Hobbycraft has to offer, please enable cookies or check whether another programme is blocking them.

In theory this is possible I guess but I’ve not tried it myself as I don’t use transfers on my work.

I went for the minc machine as from what I’d read this was the best one on the market (that wasn’t industrial size) however there are other machines available. If this is the case then the foil can’t distinguish between the bits you want foiled and the bits you want to be left unfoiled. Now, they want the lettering in gold foil and ever time I try to do it the whole foil sheet sticks on the paper and doesn’t come off. I would think however that if you are wanting to use the transfer on items such as glasses or bags etc that there are better products more suited to this (e.
