Toner reactive foil

Toner foiling creates subtle shine on printed items like invitations, packaging, and promotional materials. With laser-printed pictures, this method also combines heat, pressure, and a specialized toner reactive foil. A coating on this reactive foil only allows it to stick to the styrene plastic in laser printer toners. Because of this, the die leaves behind its design, whether it has a small, detailed pattern or a wide surface area.

Toner reactive foil application to materials

Toner foil transfer requires the application of heat and pressure, along with a suitable applicator for applying toner. Vendors can transfer the foil by heating it with a reactive substance like specialist transfer gel, transfer paint, or ink toner. They usually laminate the heat-reactive foil with a heat laminator. Next, cut the foil to the correct size before laminating it with the printed artwork. Users must sandwich reactive foil roll and their artwork with baking paper. Once the material is out of the laminator, operators will see that all of it has replaced the gorgeously printed patterns with gleaming metal designs.

Toner reactive foils have several styles to choose from

Metallic reactive foils imitate the appearance of metals like copper, silver, or gold and give the lettering or region a bright, metallic appearance. Especially when finished with toner reactive gold foil, it adds a hint of sophistication. Further, a pigment toner foil can have a matte finish instead of a shiny one, which makes it stand out or gives a tender feeling. These are excellent for highlighting text or logos with striking color and texture. Aside from that, a pearl toner reactive foil roll gives colors that might otherwise be transparent or translucent pearlescent, ethereal shine. They are a charming, understated option for exquisite stationery like invitations and business cards since they are used to providing a more tactile sheen to a design rather than color. Before application, a holographic laser toner reactive foil has a silver appearance. Once applied, they reflect a spectrum of colors at the observer, creating the illusion of a hologram or rainbow in 3d. When used appropriately, these are entertaining and youthful.
