🤗Use a Laser Printer for Foiling on Card Stock ...Mind Blowingly Easy 

How to Use Laser Printer for Foiling! Quickly and easily make foil printables using a laser printer! Full tutorial here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2021/11/how-to-put-foil-on-paper-with-heat.html I'm using my Uninet iColor 560 White Toner laser printer for this project but any laster printer will work: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/uninet-icolor-560-printer-and-pro-rip.html

The ink tank system appears to be much better than the cartridge system ru-vid.comUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 and a lot cheaper to run. The machine was easy to set up. A small point but I thought they'd be a USB cable included to help with the set up but there was none. I've been using it now for a few weeks and it seems like a good product and superior to my previous printers which were all troublesome HP machines.

I have been doing this for 20 years, using a laser printer only. Just print your design, lay the foil over the design and secure it, then run it through the printer again as a BLANK page. (I usually hit the space bar a couple of times so it will appear there is something to print on the page.). The heat from the printer that “sets” the toner to the paper will also set the foil to the toner. Easy peasy.

Can anyone recommend a LASER printer that can handle heavy (110lb) cardstock???

I just enjoy your friendly and informative personality. Thank you for making this fun!

Can you use a Minc to use with Minc foil?

Thanks for sharing! I'm going to try using my Cricut heat press and just pressing REALLY hard. Nothing to lose but a bit of cardstock and foil! LOL!! Wish me luck!!

Can you use a Cricut machine to make th design and a Minc to transfer the printed design?

Could you do a video trying to print edge-to-edge photo prints using the icolor printer?

Which foil paper is called for the laminating machine. I have a laserjet printer and a laminator. But what the Foil pasting paper is called and how to buy it. Thanks indeed for your video. 🎉🎉🎉

Great video, have you ever tried printing over the foil? Did ut work out ? Thanks

So is this different from the laminator /laser printer(or photocopy) / foil tecnique we've been using for the last ten years( heat press vs laminator)?

Yes but are there black marks in it? We don't get a close up!

What type of paper are you using? I have tried all kinds it's not transferring

This is awesome thank you.

If I print an invitation can I only put peoples name in foil?

How scratch resistant is the foil? Would it hold up for say, a deck of cards?

OH MY GOODNESS! I'm so happy that I was looking for an answer to another question and this video came up!!! Thank you so much!!! I was asking if I could print out a special cut menu on my laser printer and use my PRINT THEN CUT feature on Cricut's Design Space. Again, thank you!!! Have a Merry Christmas!!!

What paper did you use

What temp did you press please

Unfortunately not all laser printers can print on thick card stock, can you please share what printer you’re using?

You are amazing and so helpful! I am waiting for Black Friday to see if I can snag the cameo 4 on sale but I watch all of your videos while I prep cut files on silhouette studio 😂 thank you so much for all you do!

Melissa, Thank you so much for all the educational content 🤍

I did it this way, have spots that were missed, making black and gold striped foiling. What could have caused this?

hello, im using a heat press as well are you using 310 degrees Farenheit correct? also about 18 seconds? i cant seem to get the foils to stick like on the laminator... does it have to do with the pressure you put down or not so much? maybe my heat and seconds were off possibly.

i got a problem with laser printer and inject printer when i was going to cut the stickers with my cameo, can you advice me ??? the work moved , i dont know what happened maybe the paper move in inject or laser printer , so the design and writing wasnt match , what should i do ??

When loading In Prorip. Are you using CMYK or Underprint? Or can you direct me to the video showing the setup please.

Thank you very much for the video and explanation, it was very useful. I have a question I would like to ask, I would be very happy if you could help; Is foil thickness very important? I mean, I use 12 microns and not all black areas are foiled on laser outputs. I wonder if it has to do with the micron thickness? The foil textile foil I use

Happy birthday to your husband!

Happy birthday to your husband.

How can I avoid the small black specs that sometimes happen on the black lettering? It’s like the foil doesn’t apply evenly.

Very interesting tutorial. But precious FEW of us are going out to buy that heavy duty heat press machine $$$.

Any idea why my foils have a light blotchiness on the parts that should be crisp white? I'd love to include a photo but don't know how.

Do you mind sharing the tool you used to cut the foil? I don't think I've seen anything like that before.

Hi thanks for the tutorial. Would this method work on a piece of photo paper that has a design already printed on it? I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere. Let’s say I did a custom flyer or chip bag printed with an inkjet printer. Could I go back and add the wording that I want to appear foiled on top of the colored design and run the already printed sheets thru the laser printer? Just curious would the inkjet ink on the paper ruin the laser printer. I hope this makes sense.

Hello, I love the work you're doing. Can you tell me what kind of card stock are you using in your laser printer. Are you using ink jet card stock or laser card stock?

Are there any alternatives to using a heat press? Can the heat press be substituted with an iron for example?

So, I don’t need to have a white toner to make the foil stick to the letters/design when we put it trough the heat press ? It could be any color ?

What time and temp would you use for sticker paper?

Thanks for the video. Can you us a Cricut easy press iron?

Is there a web site where I can find good images to print?

Hiya, what weight cardstock are you using please? great tutorial by the way!

Hi I tried this but it comes out all speckled, I'm using a full colour printer, I've heard you can only do it with a monotone printer is this true?

Thanks so much! I've been wanting to purchase some of your books. And I just did thanks to your sale!!

HI, can you do this on Vellum?

Im trying to foil, but the foil sticks also on the non printed areas 😏😔 how can i avoid that? Guess its toner dust?

Hi! What’s the thickest that you can print on this printer?

What an amazing idea! Thank you for demonstrating! Do you have to add the foil just after the image is printed? (ie. still warm or fresh rather than printing multiples and then foiling)

Curious have you use we r keeper foil sheet on laser printer? I do not have one yet but I have zero patience with foil quill for many reasons. Let me know if you have attempted one. Big thanks

Hi, one of your samples was an all black, 1st day of school sign... I think. How did you get the foil to adhere to just the words when the entire background is black? Love your videos, so helpful. Thanks!

Name of printer

I love your video's and I learn so much from you. I have been trying to foil for a month its always something! I received my heat press it has a blue mat and a white one. Do I leave them both in there when laminating? Also, if you don't mind me being a bug, I went to a copy shop and got laser jet copies and the toner is coming off on my foil but not sticking. The 1 or 2 times I got it to stick the foil got rolls in it and only stick to part of it. I just want to cry. My press is at 310 and I've done 15 and 20 seconds. Do you think it's the copy shop? I'm using deco foil by I-craft. I have tried it on card stock 65 lbs. and 110 lbs. light pink and white. When I used and ink pad and stamps, with a laminator I got really close, but I would always miss some of the foil in areas. I just thought you may have a few tricks for me. I have tried covering it with plain white copy paper, heavy card stock and by itself just the foil and paper. any help is greatly appreciated. I just hope you have time to help me! if you like you can email me at lijordan1962@gmail.com or just leave me a text here. I'm sorry to bother you. Thank you so much for your time and all you do for everyone.
