Heidi Swapp Minc Machine- 12in (Blush)

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.

Hermosa

Me gusto mucho para laminar y dar mis cursos

Creo es la mejor, ademas en mi color favorito! eso si, es mas costosa.

La máquina no sirvió, jamás lamine una hoja. Pedí regresarla y fue imposible la necesitaba para un trabajo y quedé mal. La tienda q la vende no tiene servicio al cliente. Ahora está en un rincón de mi casa luciendo nueva pero infuncional. Decepción por completo

Me encantó y mis trabajos quedan supet

Without a doubt, this laminator is a good investment. The results are impressive. It is very easy to use. 100% recommended.

...and just get a Minc. If you do textile (toner) foiling there really is no more consistent machine. I used a regular laminator for years. It was just cheaper, but very hit or miss, mostly miss. I finally broke down and got a Minc. Yes, it's a bit pricey in comparison to a Scotts laminator, but there is so much less waste of foil or mistakes, like overfoiling. I use H&H Sign Supplies toner foil which works like a charm, in class with the icraft deco and minc's foil, only you get a lot more of it.

Es una máquina espectacular Para los laminados de fóil , yo lo uso para las agendas y súper bonitas quedan

Super 👍 allerdings völlig überteuert! 🤷‍♀️😔

Good

After foiling using a laminator I upgraded to the minc machine and it does a much better job. Variety of heat settings let's you be gentle on specialty surfaces (I use setting 2 on shimmer cardstock) and rarely need to go higher than 4 on any surface.

El 20 de julio recibí el producto, lo utilicé 6 veces y hoy 30 de agosto no funciona, ya no calienta.
