American Crafts, Heidi Swapp, Minc Wheel Foiling Machine Laminator Applicator & Starter Kit,12 inch, Pink, Includes Transfer Folder, Gold Foil Sheet and 3 Tags, Make Cards, Invitations, and More

I was waiting for it with great excitement....I love its color and it matches perfectly with the rest of my craft room.

I wanted to foil my wedding invites and I already had a small laminator and a large clamshell heat press. The laminator didn't work well at all, and the heat press did okay, but overall was not ideal. It's a lot of trial and error to pick a heat setting and timing, and even at the tightest setting I could get with the press still closing, it didn't apply even pressure across the prints.Overall, ~$100 for my sanity and saving materials was worth getting the Minc. I feel like I tried to buy cheaper foils and use cheaper tools and it was quite a waste of time and materials. I didn't believe the Minc could work that well, but it really applies a TON of pressure to the print and it heats up much faster than my heat press does.Only thing I don't love is the large pocket. I wish it came with 2, one large, one small. If the 12" pocket isn't fed very accurately, the skew will make it get caught in the laminator near the end. I had to cut mine down after it got chewed up my second time using it. I'll have to go and buy another if I ever want to do larger projects.For foils, I tried TCrafTX, iCraft Deco Foil, Minc, and Coolprints. Minc and Coolprints foils are the only ones I recommend. For a printer I recommend Brother HL-L2370DW with the following settings: HQ 1200, Text, Thick Paper (match to your paper type) and Improve Toner Fixing checked in the Advanced settings tab > Other Print Options > Improve Print Output.

Llego en perfecto estado, la maquina es increíble! Muy buena y muy buena marca!

I have been trying it on inkjet prints and the foil would just not apply. How does this work? It can’t be just the template bookmarks it works on. Does it need a special ink prints or special papers? What is it?

The media could not be loaded. Excelente máquina para aplicar foil

The media could not be loaded. Without a doubt, this laminator is a good investment. The results are impressive. It is very easy to use. 100% recommended.

I do papercrafts mostly. I had gone through 2 of the cheaper laminator. When I use this the pressure and heat makes my project much stiffer. No need to have to back. Love it.

Esta maquina la espere con mucha emoción, Amo su color y hace un match perfecto con el resto de mi craftroom
