Heidi Swapp Minc Machine- 12in (Blush)

Good

It was delivered on august 16th , started using it on the 20th , very hardly used it .It got very hot, even I was on number 1 ( foiling ) and stopped working on September 25th . Can’t get replacement or refund . Do not recommend

I wanted to foil my wedding invites and I already had a small laminator and a large clamshell heat press. The laminator didn't work well at all, and the heat press did okay, but overall was not ideal. It's a lot of trial and error to pick a heat setting and timing, and even at the tightest setting I could get with the press still closing, it didn't apply even pressure across the prints. Overall, ~$100 for my sanity and saving materials was worth getting the Minc. I feel like I tried to buy cheaper foils and use cheaper tools and it was quite a waste of time and materials. I didn't believe the Minc could work that well, but it really applies a TON of pressure to the print and it heats up much faster than my heat press does. Only thing I don't love is the large pocket. I wish it came with 2, one large, one small. If the 12" pocket isn't fed very accurately, the skew will make it get caught in the laminator near the end. I had to cut mine down after it got chewed up my second time using it. I'll have to go and buy another if I ever want to do larger projects. For foils, I tried TCrafTX, iCraft Deco Foil, Minc, and Coolprints. Minc and Coolprints foils are the only ones I recommend. For a printer I recommend Brother HL-L2370DW with the following settings: HQ 1200, Text, Thick Paper (match to your paper type) and Improve Toner Fixing checked in the Advanced settings tab > Other Print Options > Improve Print Output.

Es una máquina espectacular Para los laminados de fóil , yo lo uso para las agendas y súper bonitas quedan

Super 👍 allerdings völlig überteuert! 🤷‍♀️😔

My first one broke bought second hand, got this one to replace the old Minc laminator. Dont ever use 1.5 mil laminating rolls on these, that’s what jammed my rollers and became a fire hazard 😣

Me gusto mucho para laminar y dar mis cursos
