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.

Once your laminator has warmed up sufficiently (10-15 minutes should work for most machines), stack your pages with the design print on bottom, the foil over that, and the scratch paper on the top. A lot of people have success with the Brother but I have found that on smaller areas it just doesn’t foil as consistently.

When the laser print gets passed through a foiling machine (which is hot inside) the toner heats up and melts slightly (because it’s plastic) and makes the foil from the transfer sheet stick to it - a bit like glue. If you wanted to put it through a laser printer though then tissue paper won’t work as it is too fine to pass through a laser printer. The deco foil will adhere to any ink that is left on the front side of the card so I cut just inside the lines.

Gold foil printing is done with the help of a laser printer, some gold foil transfer sheets and a laminator or a gold foiling machine.And I am sure there is yet more to learn as I still constantly get flawed prints… so I am on a mission to get them as perfect as possible!

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? If you need to make a design with foiled and unfoiled areas then you will need to print the unfoiled areas on an inkjet printer first and then print the areas for foiling on a laser printer.
