I havent got the wizad hot foil but ive not heard any good comments.I have bought the foil to use with the laser printer /photocopier but havent had chance to use it yet.The company i purchased this from is pretty reliable though.You can use an iron or a laminator to set the foil.Theres no need to set immediately after printing.

Laser printer hot foiling
Hi, another question about hot-foiling... I am fine with the method (laser print, sheet of Tonertex and household iron) but I haven't found a laser printer that takes thick card, I like to use 260gsm or heavier. The problem mainly is that office equip is designed to prevent 2 pages going through at a time, therefore limited to about 160gsm, too thin for my cards. I'd like to know how people who have bought a home laser printer are getting on, are they doing cards or just tags, or just scrapbooking?

Thanks Sue, yeah I do that with my inkjet, with a good shove 300gsm will go through. Just wondering if the same is true of lasers as I don't want to buy one and find I can't use it for the sole purpose I bought it.

Hi
I have just returned from a craft show in Newbury where I saw the hot foil wizard machine used, it is excellent, you can print anything you like on to velum, tracing or parchment paper, attach this to your card appropriately, a special foil comes with the machine, put this between the attached greeting and the card and use the wizard machine to trace over the greeting. Just as you would when tracing a picture as a child. Quite pricey, they may come down in time.

I'm being daft I still don't fully understand. Do you use rub on foil over dried photocopied or laser print then heat it with an iron? Anyone know of detailed instructions anywhere?
