    Hello everyone!

    I'm very new to the printing world and am looking for a way to print onto foil effectively.

    Below is a video of my biggest competitor who has now "perfected" the printing on foil method while I'm still running into smudge and lighting issues :mad:

    I'm basically looking to do the same thing he is doing. All of my printing for digital art so far has been done via Office Depot on a Xerox 550 Color Printer. It seems to work great for normal printing but doesn't seem to like my foil paper labels at all..below are the foil labels I'm using.

    I have followed the troubleshooting guide as far as printing as "heave" or "cardstock" etc but am still running into smudge and fading issues :mad:

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to buy something that would allow me to do this in home versus driving to Office Depot everytime I need something printed.

    If this isn't something that is feasible does anyone know a place that I could use to fill orders for something like this etc.

    Thank You all ahead of time for your help as I am sooooo lost. The options for printing today are quite overwhelming!

    Maybe it's the equipment where you are having problems. Have you ever tried printing outside of Office Depot?
