Time to start adding shine to your projects! Print your custom designs on a laser printer, gather your supplies and choose one of our bright foil colors.
Place your project into the transfer carrier that is included with your machine. The transfer carrier is 9 by 12 inches, and the Glaminator accepts items up to 9" wide. If your design or project is oversized, trim it to the correct size.
Place your foil on top of your project, with the shining side up. To save materials, trim your foil to the appropriate size using a craft knife. The area of your printed design is the only part that needs to be covered.
Close the transfer carrier with your project and foil laying flat inside, and run it through the machine. The toner reactive foil will adhere to your printed design.
Once the project is cool to the touch, remove it from the transfer carrier. Peel your foil from your project to reveal your foil accents!
Although the Glaminator was created for foiling, it has standard thermal lamination and cold lamination capabilities. Simply slide the button to your desired setting, and the machine will do the rest!
When you print your design a laser printer applies toner to your project media. Toner is primarily composed of plastic, carbon, and other solid components. Running your project through the machine melts the toner and foil together. When your project comes out of the machine and cools, the toner goes back to its solid form causing the foil to stick to the toner surfaces.
Yes. Xyron's transfer foils are able to be put through the machine more than once. This will help you eliminate waste and be able to work on more projects!
Along with the machine, you will receive one transfer carrier (9x12in), and one roll of gold foil (6in x 5ft). Additional foils and transfer carriers are sold separately.
The transfer carrier helps ensure that your project will go through the machine smoothly with minimal wrinkling or folding. You can operate the machine without using the transfer carrier, but you may see mixed results.
Xyron's foil is toner-reactive, so your designs need to be printed on a laser printer. For information on recommended printers, please contact our customer service.
* Printer Tip: In our research, we have found that smaller desktop printers apply toner better than larger business machines. This means that printing at a print shop, office, or other public printing may not yield the best results.
The Glaminator allows you to foil without the use of external craft machines like die cutters or die presses. It only has one foiling setting, regardless of your project media or foil thickness. The foiling setting is specifically configured for foiling, but it has lamination capabilities as well. For more information on why our machine is different from a standard laminator, please contact customer service.
The Glaminator is compatible with most other toner-reactive transfer foils, but for best results Xyron foils are recommended. The machine's warranty is only applicable when used with Xyron foils and transfer carriers.
The Glaminator will apply foil to most paper types, including standard printer paper, cardstock, and even scrapbook paper. For best results, paper with a smooth surface is recommended.
*Paper Tip: If you're not seeing the results you want and are concerned about the paper, make sure that your laser printer is compatible with the paper size and weight of your print media. Print media information can be found in your laser printer user manual.
