DIY invitations - gold foil

I had that problem when the heat setting on my machine was not high (hot) enough. Though, my paper was white.

What laminator did you end up using that worked? even on white paper it doesn't work well

I'm doing mine too and soooo feel your pain. I have a Heidi Swapp minc.

It's all in the paper. You need paper that's super smooth or even coated and made for laser printing. No texture at all. This is hard to find in anything that isn't white; but I've found that Plike brand paper works well. Not sure how the dye will affect it.

@OP, sorry for falling off the face of the earth with your post! I have a Minc.
