Contact MyBinding.com today to discover how this revolutionary process is making foil imprinting easier and more economical to incorporate into your design process.
Step 1: With a laser printer, print the desired text or single color (line art) design onto your intended paper item or flat sheet.
Step 2: Cut a piece of laminating foil from the roll in a size proportional to the text or graphic you wish to appear in foil.
Step 3: With a substantial pouch laminator, slip your printed piece (with foil over the desired imprint area) within a paper carrier. A carrier such as a larger piece of folded paper or card stock is necessary to prevent the foil from directly contacting the rollers of the pouch laminator.
Step 4: Insert the carrier into pouch laminator.
Step 5: Once the carrier exits, pull the foil sheet off to reveal the foil imprint. The foil will only adhere to the toner printed areas of your paper (text or graphic).
It is suggested that the pouch laminator you use to produce foil lamination imprints have 4 laminating rollers, and controls allowing you specify temperature and speed. A slow speed with a temperature of 250F is recommended for best foil imprinting results. Textured papers are not recommended for use in the foil laminating process. A smooth, flat paper surface texture is necessary to achieve high quality results.
While many customers run foil fused sheets back through a laser printer after initial foil imprinting, it is important to note that some printers may pick up small pieces of foil off the sheet. These particles may become deposited on parts within the printer which would require additional maintenance to remove and/or require replacement of contaminated parts.
