There is an available HOT STAMPING FOIL in the market but the saleslady told me it will not work with my porject because it's not the type to use in laser print foil stamping rather it is a foil to be used with big stamping machines. Is there a difference between HOT STAMPING FOIL and the DECO foil? Please let me know.

Try printing on a monochrome (black and white) laser printer only and see how you go..<br /><br />Not sure if that is your solution or not though but it's definitely what I have found along the way...<br /><br /><br /><br />Vivienne xVivienne Londonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-40283002819830946542016-10-05T21:35:43.264-05:002016-10-05T21:35:43.264-05:00URGENT!!!!!!

Your blog post has definitely helped ALOT. My problem is that I am using metalic paper, but the sort of paper that is glossy rather than matte. Some times it works perfectly, other times, the foil is actually sticking to the un printed bits. i am using a laminator, so I think maybe the heat setting is too high?

I get the laser printing done at a local digital printing store (through their laser black and white copier which is a Canon ImageRunner) and then go home and add the foil (not taped) over the whole design area and run it through my laminator. This works perfectly and has close to no error in the foil reacting to the toner / sticking, only error when I am working too quickly and the foil creases or folds as it runs through. Now, my local printing store has now closed down and I have been searching for a new one that works as well but all of the printing houses are now using Fuji Xerox's or Konica Minolta's and apparently I have learnt that now laser printer toners in newer machines are more "Eco-friendly" resulting in some or few ingredients missing so the foil does not stick as well. Helpppp? <br />I love making invitations and want to get that perfect result again. I am using a Fuji Xerox and printing in CMYK which I find is getting a good result, but not as good as the Canon I used before. Any ideas on how I can better this? <br />In summary, after lots of trial an error I've found it comes down to the toner not being as good as the old stuff resulting in the foil not adhering as well. Can anyone else relate?Vivienne Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-23824305188834357032016-07-31T10:06:08.781-05:002016-07-31T10:06:08.781-05:00Will this possibly work on shimmer cardstock paper...Will this possibly work on shimmer cardstock paper?CoilyUpliftedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609530452960765128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-65887847736668530092016-06-03T06:56:13.793-05:002016-06-03T06:56:13.793-05:00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3_MMmzGs-Y

My feeling is that it should be fine because laser ink is a polymer that is heated to get it to apply to paper. So like a candle or plastic if you heat it up it should just melt and the re-running it through the printer or laminator is heating it up so the foil sticks to the print. In fact, the Minc system papers are pre-printed and who knows how long ago that was?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393578242685316734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-32308501266512566332016-03-24T13:06:42.660-05:002016-03-24T13:06:42.660-05:00Hi, I was wondering, does the ink need to be "...Hi, I was wondering, does the ink need to be "fresh" or can it be printed a few days earlier?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13728127593161612502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-36480843061570348742016-03-07T21:00:15.646-06:002016-03-07T21:00:15.646-06:00Thanks so much!
