Thermoweb Foil Deco 6-inch x 12-inch, Gold

Product Information

Do not use an automatic shut-off regulator or regular air inflator; they do not have enough power to inflate a Qualatex Bubble Balloon wrinkle-free. Print image/font in black → cover the area you want to foil in foil → send it through the laminator. 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. A lot of people have success with the Brother but I have found that on smaller areas it just doesn’t foil as consistently.

You can use scraps of old foil that has already been through the foiling machine once but ensure you cut off any previous outlines – leaving these on will leave small black marks on your print.

However, I have found that the greaseproof paper can crease in the laminator and create massive creases on your beautiful print which are then impossible to get out.

Use your latex regulator to add a micro-second of helium, or use a hand pump to add just enough air to fill out the inner shape.

My foil came with the clear transfer sheets but in my experience the scrap paper allows more heat to get to the foil, which allows it to stick to the toner better. I must say there is a huge difference as the laminators were giving me patchy and inconsistent results. I’ve been creating gold foil prints for around 18 months and it has been a bit of a steep learning curve as I have found gold foil printing can be a bit of a black art! 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. I’ve seen a lot of cool foil cards lately and I really wanted to try out the deco foiling sheets and I’m a little in love with how easy and cute this project came out.Update: I don’t think the Mohawk paper is available anymore, but this HP Paper is also very smooth and I love it! Also, if your laminator has a “Ready” light, let your laminator sit for at least another 10 minutes after that comes on. Now, they want the lettering in gold foil and ever time I try to do it the whole foil sheet sticks on the paper and doesn’t come off. Stretchy plastic Deco Bubble Balloons are non-oxidizing and long-lasting - making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor decor. Don’t be tempted to put your print through the laminator again – it will in all likelihood destroy the foiling on the other parts of the print (it takes off that lovely shine and leaves the foiled areas with a duller look).
