WHAT IS IT AND HOW DOES HEIDI SWAPP'S MINC WORK?

This machine allows you to metallize your projects with foil, it works by thermal transfer of foil paper that is reactive to heat.

Technical characteristics:

  • allows you to work with 12-inch-wide papers, the classic size of scrapbooking papers
  • Only works with toner ink
  • It only works with black ink.
  • Another option is to draw your designs or lettering freehand with the toner ink marker

basic materials:

How does it work:

  1. Print, photocopy or draw with toner ink your design on paper or cardstock.
  2. Plug in and turn on your Minc machine.
  3. Select the appropriate temperature in the machine for your paper or cardboard (for example, with 200 gr cardboard you can use the temperature)
  4. Wait a few seconds after the light turns green, indicating that the Minc has already reached temperature and is ready to work.
  5. Cover your design with the reactive foil sheet (foil facing you) and place everything inside the carrier folder.
  6. Feed your design into the Minc, allowing the rollers to draw it in.
  7. Carefully remove the foil from the surface... And that's it!

You should also know that :

  • The thicker and satinier the surface to be metallized, the more temperature it will need to set the foil and the more difficult it will be.
  • The finer the lines of your design, the more difficult it will be to foil it.
  • A function that you can also take out (although it has not been designed for it) is to be able to laminate documents and projects in a matter of seconds. As it is not a machine essentially designed to laminate, it is recommended to use plastics of a low thickness.

With it you can give color and shine to your projects!!
