I am very frustrated with my GoPress and Foil machine. I tried using it again today, total fail and I hate wasting the foil! Your helpful tips have inspired me to try again later and see if it will be more successful!<br /><br />KellyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222095200800472183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066921.post-60550861070136219352018-10-22T14:43:20.425-07:002018-10-22T14:43:20.425-07:00Awesome!

I already have a foil it machine so wondering if this actually embosses (or debossed....I forgetbwhich is which! Basically indents the pattern? ) xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02403022865142433407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066921.post-17539902584061441342018-02-11T09:27:04.936-08:002018-02-11T09:27:04.936-08:00nzpussikat: I can honestly that I like both the Mi...nzpussikat: I can honestly that I like both the Minc and Go Press equally as they are totally different ways to apply foil. I have found with my Minc that if I flip my sandwich and run the items through with the foil on the bottom they come out more evenly foiled. I would say that is because heat rises so the heat is rising up through the foil....but I could be wrong lol. I use my Minc a lot with my Cricut Explore as I can cut images from toner card stock and then run them through the Minc. <br />I love my Go Press because it embosses the foil into my card stock which is a totally different look. I am more limited on what I can foil as there is not an over abundance of foiling dies on the market yet but what is out there gives very professional results which elevates the quality of your project. AND I just saw today that ScrapbookingMadeSimple.com has Go Press Cut and Foil dies! So they cut, emboss and foil all at the same time!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143569252888081518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066921.post-17949122598661740192017-11-12T21:06:13.430-08:002017-11-12T21:06:13.430-08:00I have a Minc and it works perfectly.

I also foil stamps by stamping then using clear embossing powder on the image- set it with a heat gun then foil it - awesome results. The gopress can only use the special foils that come with it or that are meant to be used with it. My minc machine uses a whole range of foils with bright beautiful shiny results.

I was interested to read you had a Minc and love it. I've tried the Minc pens and the ink is either pretty useless or doesn't work at all. I don't have a toner printer at home, but even using my work laser printer, the Minc doesn't seem to like any paper I try.<br />What is your preference between the two machines ?pussikatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04581654485578138240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066921.post-2551200177060046722017-08-24T16:29:49.624-07:002017-08-24T16:29:49.624-07:00Hi Cathy Craft, right now all I use is the Couture...Hi Cathy Craft, right now all I use is the Couture Creations foil. It comes it a wide variety of colors but is difficult to find. I have purchased from CreateandCraft.com and from ScrapbookingMadeSimple.com.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143569252888081518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066921.post-8986923025740596632017-08-15T06:04:47.018-07:002017-08-15T06:04:47.018-07:00What brands of hot foil can you use with the stamp...What brands of hot foil can you use with the stamp plates other than couture creations.

They do not cut. :-( But they are very pretty and can emboss the paper with or without ink which is cool. I hope you enjoy your machine. It does take a bit of trial and error to get the right shim pressure but once you do there will be no stopping you!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143569252888081518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066921.post-21498882605264243352017-07-09T02:54:11.193-07:002017-07-09T02:54:11.193-07:00Thanks for your very helpful comments!

I've just ordered mine and you have probably saved me a lot of angst, lol. What I'm not very clear about is can I use their lovely stamps (dies), like our ordinary dies?
