Will I need a computer to print with a Foil Press?
Yes. While Foil Press Printing is a hands on art you will want a computer to design and prepare files to order materials in order to print.
A used press can run for about USD1k and a brand new one like the ones I will be suggesting in the class will run for 2-4k. There are more inexpensive models that I will be talking about in the class but they will not have all the features I talk about during the class.
How much does a Foil Press Machine cost?
small business owner

Graduated as a product designer
worked as a toy designer and creative director
took an online calligraphy class, quit my job, started offering calligraphy services, teaching workshops and designing wedding invitations
purchased my foil press machine and started printing in house, TAUGHT MY FIRST EMPLOYEE TO USE the FOIL PRESS MACHINE
Rented my first studio space, hired 2 more people to help with printing and design
Designed a collection of foil pressed wedding invitations, added our first foil pressed ready to purchase product to our shop
moved to a bigger studio since I decided to invest in more printing equipment that required more space, special electric panel and doors big enough to fit the machines
the world ended. weddings got cancelled. things were upside down but our foil pressed products in our shop kept the company going and paid for all our bills during this time
We launched our second line of wedding collections. weddings started happening again, we had the most sales since the company started. We slowly added more foil pressed products to our online shop
after tons of requests I decided to put together some of the lessons I had acquired in the industry and created my first online class: plant & grow
realized my time creating wedding invitations had come to an end. Decided to follow my creativity and curiosity and started designing more products for our shop
I missed connecting with others and decided to open a store front in our studio where we will be selling our products, teaching classes and growing together
i was able to see my process from a different perspective, realized how much foil press printing had shaped my path and decided i wanted to theach this art to other people and see them grow in their own journey so my class:
the art of foil press printing was created
