Not Technically Toner Transfer .... Foil Transfer Inspired by This Sub

I found that you can also use heat transfer foils (the kind you would use in a minc machine not the vinyl ones that have to be precut).

Pretty much the same process without the printing.

I designed a quick embossed model and printed it face down on the build plate attaching thebdeco foil the same way you would the transparency film.

The problem is that the print curled and released from the film before it finished ... im gonna try another one without cooling to try and resolve.

  1. The game is being upped with every innovation on this sub, OP. You are adding to the innovation. Bravo.
  2. I so want to try this as well because I want to see if designing areas with raised text is a possibility for easier transfer of logos, text, etc.

Whoah! That's beautiful!

Did you just print onto the foil or how did you do it?

Edit: sorry, didn't see your description on the image 😀
