Hot Press folio
Today I tried out different hot press foils on my Bristol 3-ply folio board. I want to order a magnesium plate using Textura font but that machine that can do larger areas needs a fix. But none the less, I know it works on my Bristol. I of course burned my self w the 300 degree block.
