To buy laminating foil, I think your best bet is to use this link to find merchants that will ship worldwide: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...
the clear sheet is: www.amazon.com/Transparency-C...
I'd like you to understand how this video was made... it wasn't planned at all... I just had had enough with the larger laminator and decided to test the small one. I turned on the video recording on my phone and just went with it. Trust me, I was completely shocked when it came out so perfectly (the foiled print on the small laminator). So please excuse the crude video, i'm not that good at this particular style (me being in one)
(Update) I have bought another Apache and it is operating as it should, it isn't perfect but neither is the Fellowes. The thing is, you can get the same results whether you use the Apache or the Fellowes.
The Fellowes feed is very slow, the Apache moves much quicker. The Fellowes can be turned off right after use, the Apache MUST be allowed to cool off or it will burn up the rollers.
Nothing I have tried is fool proof. If you want perfection... you'll need to spend a lot more money. (13 March 2015)
(Original Post) I've gone thru 3 or 4 Apache AL 13P's since July 2014 (it is now December 2014) and each one of them either ate the paper (eventually) or found another dastardly way to die. My husband and i worked on the latest dead Apache last night and it does work...sorta... it wants to eat the paper and truly that is not what you want it to do... the smell is awful! So this morning I decided to try out my cheapo $35 Fellows laminator and lo and behold....
Is it metal? Yes it is! • Is the laminating foil...

@SeafordShores 6 лет назад

Honestly, i have never tried another colour toner. It couldn't hurt to test the theory... but it must definitely be laser toner. If you try another colour, let me know, I would love to know the result... or better yet...make your own video... wow the world baby! :)

@MsBernie84 5 лет назад

Seaford Shores ok, I’m sorry to Bother you. Like I said before it went well. But I noticed that it only worked correctly 3 times after that the foul did not want to stick to the paper anymore. I have ruined so much paper and paper foil. Do you have any suggestions on a new laminator?

yeah, it really was more the surprise of how beautiful it turned out than an expected result. unless you own one of those $3,000 toys out there that does this sort of thing professionally, it will always be trial and error. What some people pass off as their product, I would be ashamed to do, Unless it is like how this turned out, it went in the trash. oh... and i like the "young" in your comment... :)

@slickdamin708 8 лет назад

I use that same apache and it works great. There are 4 tension screws on the bottom you have to tighten then loosen about 5 turns and it should work like a charm.

@SeafordShores 8 лет назад

Yes sir.. I am aware... and in my explanation, i did say that I now use the apache with awesome results... way down there in the comments, another viewer told me about the tension screws... it made all the difference in the world and I love this machine... I keep this video for others to see that a lower-priced laminator can do the job also. I PREFER the apache. :) (it's quicker)

Hi, Virginia (: I have the same issue with black so many black spots showing through in my transfers. I am torn between getting the Apache and the Fellowes. Is there any benefit at all to getting the Apache over the Fellowes? Other than the Apache eventually dying, does it produce the same or better results? What do you attribute the perfect transfer to in this video? Do you think the clear sheet on top or the type of paper? Or any other factor? Any tips would greatly help! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your work.

Hello, I tried to do it but it didn't work like you showed us. Do you use a special foil gold paper? I used a stamping foil gold. The gold effect won't stick on the writing perfectly and even the page got some of the gold in it in the area where there is not printing. Any advice please?!

Let me tell you what... i was totally blown away when it came out like that! Sadly, it is not typical results.

@judichristopher4604 7 лет назад

I'm a little confused... or your video started a little later... What kind of printer did you use ..and I'm assuming that is a fellowes laminator? You just said their names but not if it was a laminator or not... Plus, do you put a cover over the foil before putting it in the machine? (I'm new to this subject) ;) ... Good video though.. thanks for sharing.. ;)

@MissPurplePotato 9 лет назад

Hi Virginia, I would like to know if you have used variegated GOLD LEAF sheets in place of foil sheets with this process? If so, would you be able to do a video to show? I absolutely love variegated gold leafing (available at Guiry's or Michaels), I've used it on chipboard (using glue) for a wow effect.

@LizasPaperPassion 9 лет назад

Thanks for this video. Would you please tell me what model number your Samsung printer is? Thank u

@SeafordShores 9 лет назад

LizasPaperPassion it is 2835DW ... but I've learned a thing or two since making this video... seems the higher quality cardstock I use... the better the outcome. I've been using Recollections paper from Michaels and another type paper from Create and Craft and I seriously don't have to throw away the print hardly ever... if I do get a bad print it is the result of the foil wrinkling or something.

@dmoraleszhn 6 лет назад

This is what I've been looking for, thank you so much! By any chance do you have a link to buy the laminator online?

@SeafordShores 6 лет назад

David, very sorry for the long wait for me... I get so wrapped up in all that I do... anyway... to buy the laminator is probably going to be ebay. Another thing you might want to try is a heat press... they can do nicely and more consistently than these laminators

@robertstewart6075 8 лет назад

Hi Virginia, Thank you for posing a cool video. I have been inspired and trying to use the technique for my wedding invitations.I am having some difficulties with the thick paper / thin card (300gsm) I am using and the foil almost refusing to stick to it. In another comment you mention paper types affecting the quality.Do you find its the smoothness or the thickness of the stock which affects this the most?

@SeafordShores 8 лет назад

+Robert Stewart I've been doing some laminating all day today... the smoother the paper... the better... you can use a more textured paper...but the results certainly do vary. I have used both thick and thin paper... it works on either...comes down to the texture... glossy paper works real well...usually.

@dadayanara 5 лет назад

Can your laser printer handle thick cardstock? around 200gsm or more? because I want to use foiling on cards, I'm thinking of what printer to get

@SeafordShores 5 лет назад

It will handle it as long as you have it go out the back.

what kind of paper should i use i don't think that ordinary paper can be used along with adhesive tape for lamination?

@SeafordShores 6 лет назад

Paper is / isn't important. Sometimes, it depends on the day. ...not really, but the paper i used in this video was a porous cardstock... not something you would think would offer up such good results, but it did. there are plenty of other times I've used that kind of paper and got horrible results. Same goes for a very nice smooth paper... sometimes great results... sometimes... not so much.

@shannongeronimo9150 8 лет назад

I am trying this for wedding invitations and the paper is actually card stock. Are there any tips to making it work with heavier paper? I am getting very spotty results. I purchased a laminator from Amazon that came broke so I went to Michaels and bought a purple cow that does hot and cold. This does not seem to get hot enough. It was half price and I paid $40 but everything I read says this process isn't supposed to break the bank so I don't want to buy a $100 machine!!! Thank you for your help

@SeafordShores 8 лет назад

+Shannon Geronimo which laminator arrive broken? I do use the Apache and it does work for thicker paper. for most papers the temperature needs to be very very high... 379 is the highest the apache will go. the hot/cold laminator probably won't do what you need. how many invites are you doing? perhaps contract it out? i know a good one to do that for you...

@SeafordShores 8 лет назад

+Kevin Handy Hey Kevin. it will depend on what you are adhering the foil to. for me, it's hit and miss... i always start out at 379 (why wait for the christmas rush?) if it comes back bubbled or really bad... (like on sticker material) i lower the temperature. and it really depends on your machine. you also want to make sure your rollers are tight.. but not too. that takes adjustments a quarter at a time... either to the left or right depending on the setting it currently is.

If we do hot foiling by this technique then will the foil be rubbed off if kept in a wallet or handled roughly? Or we should let the foil rest for few days after laminated ? Any feedback on this? Thank you for making this video

@SeafordShores 6 лет назад

it doesn't rub off... the toner underneath seals the foil onto the paper... it takes quite a bit for it to come off

@johnk8628 6 лет назад

Quite a bit as in deliberately rubbing by a dime ?

you'd be hard-pressed to remove it with a dime... it's pretty solid once it adheres... any foil "overrun" can be removed... but sometimes not all that easily

@SeafordShores 3 года назад

I still have that foiled piece somewhere in this mix. If I can find it, I will take a picture up close so you can see the kind of paper it is. I made that video off the cuff about 730 in the morning. It was a quick experiment that turned out perfect. Unless you have a very expensive machine, you will have missteps. But as I said, it was a first try at doing it and it went perfectly.

I have done it again exactly as you saw and i had horrific results. what seems to work the best i believe, is very firm cardstock or a semigloss paper. the less porous the better... and be sure to let it warm up at least 10-15 minutes past it's "ready" time.

Thank you for your tip! I will give it another try!

@Sandy-mu6qg 6 лет назад

Does it have to be a laser printer or a ink jet works too?

@SeafordShores 6 лет назад

it will only work with a laser printer.

Hi there! Do you have a link for where you buy those plastic covers? Can't seem to search the right verbiage to find them. Thank you!!! -Megan

@SeafordShores 7 лет назад

You could probably find some cheaper... but this will get you on the right track... they must be heat resistant. www.amazon.com/Transparency-Computer-Printable-Transparent-Plastic/dp/B00NT1JUUI

im having trouble in buying that kind of foil. what's it called?

@SeafordShores 8 лет назад

+Jeremiah Isabelle C. Capistrano it's called thermo foil, laminating foil...etc. it's becoming more mainstream lately

@lLykaLyksl 7 лет назад

Wow!!!! Damn I was expecting that!!! Buhahahahhaaaa I thought his was a load of crap till I saw the use for it in this video!! Thanks!!!!

@SeafordShores 6 лет назад

I'm going to take that as a compliment. :)

@laurenmancini6120 7 лет назад

will the foil adhere to color toner or only black toner?

@SeafordShores 7 лет назад

it will adhere to both... but unless it is "clear" foil; why would you waste color?

@LiveAventura 9 лет назад

So I can use any thermal Laminator right? Like including the Scotch Thermal Laminator? and where do I get those plastic things that hold the gold foil in place? Thank you!

@SeafordShores 9 лет назад

LiveAventura I do believe that you should be able to use your Scotch Thermal Laminator... I cannot say that with 100% accuracy... just that I think so. as for the plastic overcoat... if you can't find that... use a sheet of paper. so long as you have something over top the foil.

@LiveAventura 9 лет назад

thank you so much! Your help is appreciated!

@SeafordShores 9 лет назад

Good luck... let me know how you do.

@mikapilgrimnewsome1461 8 лет назад

Hi Virginia, great tutorial. Did you need a laser printer to laminate? I have a laminator and nothing that I have done has laminated.

@SeafordShores 8 лет назад

yes, only the toner from a laser printer will work for the foil to adhere to.

@mikanewsome5870 8 лет назад

@SeafordShores 9 лет назад

tessa Macapil yes ma'am

@melepikula1596 9 лет назад

It looked like it picked up every part of the print and that there where no black spots. Is that pretty common? I've done this before with another laminator and another gold foil and I always get so many black spots it's frustrating! Yours looked amazing! I'm trying to master the gold foil technique so I can sell them online. I don't want to sell spotty prints. What are your best tips to prevent any black spots? Thank you!

@SeafordShores 9 лет назад

No, it is anything but common and I was very surprised when i did this video. I did it on the fly and as an experiment... so yeah... very surprised. I too am very conscious about the black spots... one maybe two if not too big is okay but that is hard to get. My best advice is to use what I am using which is: www.amazon.com/New-HP-Q1987A-Brochure-Brightness-HEWQ1987A/dp/B005D8H7U0/ref=sr_1_5?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1423807690&sr=1-5&keywords=hp+brochure+paper I have on occasion managed a really good print with regular cardstock but it is hard to get it. I work between this Fellowes laminator and the apache... when i figure out a perfect solution, you can bet I'll make another video but in the meantime... this works decently well and for a minimal cost (laminator)

@Bianca-ye2ji 9 лет назад

Virginia Charm Hi, Virginia (: I have the same issue. I am torn between getting the Apache and the Fellowes. Is there any benefit at all to getting the Apache over the Fellowes? Other than the Apache eventually dying, does it produce the same or better results? What do you attribute the perfect transfer to in this video? Do you think the clear sheet on top or the type of paper? Or any other factor? Any tips would greatly help! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your work. (:

@SeafordShores 9 лет назад

Bianca D Thank you for the compliments. I am using both the Apache (newly acquired from Amazon) and the Fellowes. I think some times it's hit and miss...nothing is ever consistent with this foiling. (that is unless you have one of those $3000 machines... which i do not)) When I first made this video, it was done in one take and I was really shocked how nicely this printed...foiled. I had misplaced the paper that you see in the video and assumed that I had printed it on a glossy sheet... well, I found it again the other day and it was actually printed on cardstock. That was a big surprise. :) At last check, Amazon has the Apache for about $70 and I'm not sure about the where the Fellowes is available right now... either one will do you nicely, However, if you get the Apache, never just turn it off... always turn down the temp and allow it to cool for at least 20 - 30 minutes. Also, always use a cover sheet... the plastic sheet works well as well as the folders that you can buy. I don't have a hard and fast rule on which one to use because I'm constantly getting different results with both. I apologize for not responding sooner... Any other questions, just let me know.

@Bianca-ye2ji 9 лет назад

Thank you so much! I made the mistake of not using a cover sheet once, and the foil tore off and burned inside. I had to have my husband take the whole thing apart and clean it. Thank you so much for all of the valuable info!!

@SeafordShores 9 лет назад

Bianca D Bianca... I have done that kind of thing so many times... SMH... LOL... I wish you luck and hope you have good results. feel free to visit bellacart.etsy.com to see some of the other things I'm doing. Thanks for looking at my video. :)

@farshadsoltani55 5 лет назад

Would you use laminate instead of prinrting the spirit of the paper?

@SeafordShores 5 лет назад

You can... i guess it depends on the type you use... i'm not sure wht you mean by spirit of the paper.

@lisanguyen4604 9 лет назад

can you do this with gold leaf?

@SeafordShores 9 лет назад

No... gold leaf is way too thin.

@kelli8207 9 лет назад

Can you please list the model number for the laminator? Also, will this work for foiling cardstock?

@SeafordShores 9 лет назад

The one in the video is a Fellowes C95 and that is cardstock used in the video. www.ebay.com/itm/Fellowes-C95-Jam-Free-110-120-V-3-5-A-Consistent-Laminator-/231385942957 ($19)

@MegaLoveArashi 5 лет назад

Does the heavyweight of the paper effect results?

@SeafordShores 5 лет назад

I've had it turn out great and not so great both ways. Foiling is really crazy at times. smoother the paper regardless of weight is always the best way to go... but not foolproof. :)

@ebonyclack1976 5 лет назад

Hi, does this product work on Metallic card stock?

@SeafordShores 5 лет назад

I do believe it does... like any paper, it can be hit or miss... but yes, i am sure it will work on it.

@lauragcid2125 7 лет назад

Hello Virginia! Thank you for this video. I am doing a 18" X 24" poster and I want to add some foil on it. Laminators are small and my poster won't fit through. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make this work? Thank you.

@SeafordShores 7 лет назад

yes... print it out using adobe pdf... have an overlap of -100 and then seal it once all printed out and foiled.

@oranjeguice 7 лет назад

Also maybe try a clothing iron!

@SeafordShores 7 лет назад

I've tried using a regular iron... it didn't work for me...hard to apply even pressure

@KristaSchweiss 7 лет назад

I just received a Press for Christmas. Can you use this? I just was thinking for t-shirts but maybe you can throw paper on it too? ALso -- what is the plastic "cover" you use?

@SeafordShores 7 лет назад

i do use a press exactly for this. so yes, press on... but only for about 15 seconds.
