Was it worth the additional investment, and, or do you think there is any sort of substitute for it? It's a bit pricey, but I would buy it if you felt it really made a difference in the quality of your finished product.<br /><br />Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into your blog. It's one of my favorites and I look forward to every post!<br />SuzyMcQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390830509824259765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-10494607824504574802012-10-12T15:14:20.105-05:002012-10-12T15:14:20.105-05:00Love the contrast on that first bookmark!

I guess due to the static charges in all laser printers, it's very difficult to prevent wrinkles. And you need high pressure on the foil, which is why they recommend running the foil through a laminator which applies hundreds of PSI as it passes through. I'm not sure the laser printer will apply enough pressure.<br /><br />But maybe sometime I'll give it a try.Jessica Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111703670084066670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-84800282318413016192012-10-05T22:56:57.646-05:002012-10-05T22:56:57.646-05:00Can't you also put the foil attached to the ca...Can't you also put the foil attached to the card back through the laser printer with a blank screen.
