A while back, in September 2018, I did some experiments with foiling using my printer and a laminator, and whilst there was a reasonable level of success, I was never really completely happy with my results.
Fast forward to October 2021, and I came across a 2nd hand Mini Minc on Facebook Marketplace that was in a suburb fairly close to me, so I bit the bullet and got it.
After watching some videos from Nancy Stamps YouTube, I realised I had been using the wrong foil!!! I had the 'heat reactive' foil (GoPress) and I should have been using 'toner reactive' foil.
Well, I did a quick trip to Spotlight and got me some lovely Heidi Swapp 'gold' foil and had a bit of a play!
This was my first attempt with the right foil ..... nearly there, I forgot to 'dusty, dusty' LOL
I had a few ideas running though my head where I wanted to have colour graphics with foil highlights.
So, now that I have figured out my Mini Minc and am using the correct foil for the system I am using, I am about to start on some Christmas Cards - stay tuned!
