I'm Addicted to Foiling and Can't Stop!

The Minc is such a wonderful machine for foiling! It's super easy to use and has multiple settings to foil a variety of substrates, including chipboard! My favorite method is using the Minc toner ink stamping ink and brayering it on to a stamp. It creates such a wonderfully distressed look. I'm completely addicted and can't stop foiling--I just want to add it to everything now!

Love this Minc

I've had the mini Minc for years & I love it. I LOVE foiling! I'd foil everything! Lately, I've been trying to make sticker sheets so I thought I'd better get the big girl so I could do full-sized sheets. Well...boy was I surprised at how BIG it really is! I didn't look at the size I guess! I had a picture in my head about how big it would be, say like 13 inches. No! The thing is apprx. 19" long! I had to do some serious re-organizing of my craft room & my closet. So even though I love it & loved working with it & would recommend it, just be prepared for the size, that's all.

Is this a laminating machine? By: ohiovicki (28-Feb-21) Helpful Question? Yes | No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This question has been reported. Thank you!
- Christianne613
  
  From the Minc FAQs:
  Yes! However, not all laminators are created equal! We took the basic concept of a laminator and re-engineered
  it so that our customers would achieve superior results every time. In order to achieve the best quality project
  (foil that is smoothly applied in the finest of detail) we had to build a machine that produced results beyond a
  standard laminator. During our development stage we manufactured and tested several prototypes in order to get
  it “just right.”
  
  Some of the things that make the Minc. different include:
  1. The ability to accept a true 12” sheet – perfect for scrapbooking and other large surfaces; especially for DIY-ing.
  2. Four pressure rollers (instead of two, which is common in most laminators) for more evenly
  distributed pressure across the entire 12”x12” sheet. Twelve-inch, four-roller laminators that are similar in design
  can run as high as $250 – making our Minc. an exceptional value.
  3. An interior heating element that spans the entire 12”x12” surface evenly.
  4. An adjustable heat setting feature that allows for foil transfer on sensitive materials like vellum all the way to
  more robust chipboard and even thin wood veneers.
  
  Q: Can I use the Minc. with lamination supplies?
  A: Yes! Please follow the guidelines below:
  1. When using standard 3 MIL laminating pouches from an office supply store make sure you place the Minc. on a
  heat setting of 3. There is no need to use the Minc. carrier sheet when laminating pouches are being used. Insert
  your item into the laminating pouch and feed through the Minc. opening.
  2. When using standard 5 MIL laminating pouches from an office supply store make sure you place the Minc. on a
  heat setting of 3. There is no need to use the Minc. carrier sheet when laminating pouches are being used. Insert
  your item into the laminating pouch and feed through the Minc. opening.
  3. DO NOT USE A HEAT SETTING HIGHER THAN A 3 WITH THE 3 MIL. OR 5 MIL. LAMINATING POUCHES By: Christianne613 (02-Mar-21) Helpful Answer? Yes | No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

Can ThermoWeb foil be used in the Minc machine? By: palmettolady52 (27-Jun-24) Helpful Question? Yes | No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This question has been reported. Thank you!

  Hello, ThermoWeb Foil can be used in laminator-type foil machines like the Minc; however, it must be used with Deco Foil Toner Sheets or something similar to a transfer adhesive.

From what I understand, this machine comes in 2 sizes. If I make something with the larger machine, do I have to cover the entire (say 12x12) area with foil for a small area? By: User (16-Jan-24) Helpful Question? Yes | No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This question has been reported. Thank you!
- Scrapbook.com
  
  Hello, it would not be necessary to cover the entire area you would want to make sure your foil fits the size of what you would like to foil. By: Scrapbook.com (17-Jan-24) Helpful Answer? Yes | No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

I want to buy a minc machine in blush but in 220voltage because she is living abroad. since it will be a gift to my sister. Will it be possible? By: User (13-Jun-20) Helpful Question? Yes | No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This question has been reported. Thank you!
- Mary HK
  
  When I lived in Asia, I had a converter. I plugged my printer into it. You should see if your sister can buy a converter that will convert from 110V to 220V...
  
  Hong Kong also uses 220 V...that is where I lived. By: Mary HK (09-Feb-21) Helpful Answer? Yes | No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

  That is a question you would have to ask Heidi about. I don’t think my machine is set up for 220 voltage and I don’t know if she makes these for European countries. By: Kathy Crum (15-Jun-20) Helpful Answer? Yes | No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!
