The Papilio Gold Transfer Foil is a transfer media.
How does it work ?
Instructions:
1) Design the document using your favorite publishing or
draw program.
2) Separate the part of the document you want transferred
into gold and save it in a new file.
3) Print out this new file (containing the part that will
be transferred into gold finish) on just regular white paper using you
computer printer (inkjet laser or other type)
4) Now you must photocopy this onto the paper your are
using for the final finish. This is done to make the design transferable.
You can skip this step if you are using compatible B/W laser
printer.
5) Use scissors to cut a piece of the transfer foil.
Cover the letters or the artwork with the foil Make sure the the shiny
side (the gold side) is AWAY from the paper and secure with removable
tape. Run this through the laminator. Use the highest heat if the
laminator has adjustable heat setting.
6) Remove the tape and peel off the foil and the gold will
have transferred only to the black letters or the artwork but NOT anywhere
else.
7) Now you can use an inkjet printer or any laser printer
to finish printing the document or artwork.
Note:
You must perform step # 4 in the instructions as the
Papilio gold foil will not transfer onto artwork printed in
inkjet printers, wax printers or color laser printers.
