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.
To get a refund for this faulty machine I need To spend approx $80aud to send it back to sender and then wait 30 days for a refund. So I am Down the cost and shipping of two machines and now return postage with zero communication from the sender. What a horrible customer experience this has been.
I noticed a strange smell initially, but after reading the reviews, I learned it would disappear after a few uses. So, there was nothing to be worried about in that regard.
However, during usage, I noticed that the machine gets hot for long periods of constant use. But, after doing some research, I found out that it is typical for the device.
I made a mistake by not realizing I needed a laser printer to use the machine for foiling. As a result, I will only be able to use it if I buy a laser printer or purchase some pre-prepared items ready to be foiled.
The machine is larger than I expected, but that's fine. However, I suggest putting something heat-resistant under it, as the top of my desk got very hot.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend this product.
