418561 Deco Foil Transfer Sheets, 6" x 12", Gold, 20 Piece

I used this with my Amazon Basics laminator to gold foil several signs for our wedding reception. My printer is an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdw. I purchased several Minc Transfer Folders to use with this foil. Although the foil DID NOT stick 100% to my laser print, it produced a kind of speckled appearance which I found quite pretty. [Difficult to see in photo since it was taken at an angle.] The text was more foiled than it was black, which made me happy. The foil that did adhere to my signs was firmly stuck and did not flake off. It really produced a glamorous element to our reception, and I was happy with the quality given that I was not using the "recommended"/"required" laminator. If I had been able to get more toner to lay down on the paper, it's possible that my results would've been better. NOTE: I did try initially to print and foil my messages on a textured, metallic navy paper. It did NOT work AT ALL. I assume this is because the paper was textured and all the toner had sunk into the paper rather than sitting on top for the foil to adhere to. Since the paper was thicker, my laminator also may not have been strong enough to heat through it and cause the foil to adhere. LESSON: Use perfectly smooth paper!

Good

The product works fantastically well ***under the right circumstances***. I can't stress this enough. You cannot cut corners if you want a professional result. After 10+ hours of printing wedding invitations, here's what you need to know: First, you must use a laser printer. That laser printer must lay down enough toner for the foil to stick. We borrowed 3 different laser printers, all with new toner cartridges, from an office. Out of those three, two did not lay down enough toner for the foil to fully adhere. The third printer was successful. You probably won't know if your printer is good or bad until you test it! Second, you must use a laminator. I tried using an iron but the results were terrible. You're not going to get the right temperature or pressure out of anything but a laminator. Third, the paper needs to be smooth. If you're using recycled paper, rough paper, velvety paper, or paper with any texture at all, this isn't going to work. With all that said, when you use it the right way and with the right equipment, this stuff is magical. Have fun with it!

This gold foil delivers stunning gold text on almost any paper. I printed my design—even on dark paper—and the foil adhered perfectly to the toner after passing through a laminator, leaving the rest of the paper untouched. The foil is thin yet durable, giving a professional, polished look every time. It’s perfect for invitations, cards, or any project that needs a touch of elegance. Highly recommend!

Used for to make gilded edges on my book binding hobby. It’s pretty easy to use, if you look up how-to videos. I will probably buy the other colors, depending on my book title.

This product allows you to get very beautiful gold text on almost any type of paper. One method is to print the desired text on the paper (even dark colored paper). The foil easily adheres to the toner without messing up the rest of the paper when passed through a laminator. If there's no toner, mod podge is just as effective.

I used Therm O Web Deco Foil to enhance my cards and home décor. It is very easy to work with. It transfers perfectly, if done according to instructions. It can be used in a laminator, or one of the new hot foil machines. You must place the foil "pretty side" up. You can use the "negative" space remaining for another project, by applying with Deco Foil adhesive. You can turn practically ANYTHING into a foiled finish. Scan black cardstock die-cuts of any work dies that you may have. You can also scan Spellbinders dies upside down onto your scanner surface. When printed with a laser printer (toner ink only), Deco foil will adhere beautifully. Your scans of Spellbinders dies, when printed, and foiled, can be further die-cut to reveal openings for stamping, or embellishment placement. Foiled die-cuts can also be embossed! I love this foil. It's a good value price vs. amount of product.

Bottom line it doesn't work...well at least not very well. Before you question my abilities ...because let's face it, when we read the one star reviews We always question the "abilities " of the poster...let me tell you what I did to make this work and you decide if you'd like to give it a whirl. -We have a laser printer. This product can't be used with inkjet prints, because it doesn't work. Lucky for me all we have is a laser printer...or so I thought. First attempt they looked lousy---gold didn't adhere well to the ink. I even tried running it through twice. Frustrated, I looked into other foils and read that my printer and the amount of ink might be the issue. Fine. I'm game. I tried several other laser printers. Nope still lousy results. See attached images. I'm tempted to get a new laminator---but really this is a 6 dollar foil--how much money should I invest in this product:/ I will update my review if I do get another laminator. But for me it didn't work well.

Only 6 sheets in the pack not 20!

GOSTEI

Did what it said on the can, easy peasy

In der Packung sind 20 Folien. Das Format ist leider etwas ungünstig, da schmal, aber lang. Aber wir haben das Motiv entsprechend angepasst. Nach ein paar Tipps aus YouTube-Videos habe ich mich dran gewagt. Ich habe mit einem Laserdrucker (Tintenstrahldrucker funktioniert nicht) in schwarz mein Motiv (Einhorn und Adresse in der Schriftgröße 24) ausgedruckt. Dann habe ich die Folie zurecht geschnitten und mit der bunten Seite nach oben auf den Druck gelegt. Dies habe ich dann in eine Hülle aus Backpapier gelegt. Mein Laminiergerät habe ich auf 125mic aufgewärmt. Es handelt sich um ein Gerät von Aldi. Ich habe das Ganze dann 4mal durch das Laminiergerät laufen lassen und habe dann mit der Kante einer WC-Karten nochmal darüber gestrichen. Dann habe ich die Folie vom Papier gezogen. Ich habe sowohl den Druck auf normalen Druckerpapier, als auch auf weißen Briefumschlägen probiert. Das Ergebnis war dasselbe. Die Folie klebt gut auf dem gedruckten Schwarz. An den Druckrändern hält es sehr gut. An den weißen Papierstellen blieb auch alles weiß. Im schwarzen Bereich gibt es allerdings viele winzige schwarze Pünktchen, wo keine Folie ist. Aufgrund der Reflexionen ist es aber nicht schlimm. Vermutlich fällt es nur mir auf. Diese Folie ist in Kombination mit Laserdrucker und Laminiergerät wirklich eine sehr einfache Sachen einen tollen Effekt zu erzielen. Das bunt glänzende Einhorn auf der Einladung war der Renner. 😁

Per gli appassionati del fai da te è un articolo che non può mancare nello scaffale bricolage. Premetto che è la prima volta che lo uso non saprei dare giudizi su qualità e prezzo. Ha fatto ciò che mi aspettavo.
