Excellent

This carrier sheets worked great in my Minc - got excellent results using toner sheets.

So much better than other paper trans sheets. This product is exactly same as the one that comes with the Minc Laminater.

First of all, I don't use a Minc. I use a professional grade laminator that has a heat setting for 7mil, because I do a high volume of foiling for my business. Anyone who has complained about it coming out spotty, there are 4 main causes of this:1: Your laser printer isn't laying down enough toner. Make sure you set your printer settings to DARK.2: Your laminator (or the minc) isn't hot enough. Let it get nice and hot before you roll something through. Wait between jobs if you need to let it heat back up again. When my laminator beeps, I wait a few more minutes.3: You have fuzz, hair, dust, or something either between the foil and the paper, or between the transfer folder and the foil - this keeps the heat from getting through to the toner and you ned up with weird spots.4: Your paper isn't smooth enough. This process will only work on really smooth paper. I tried it on watercolor paper like a genius when I first got it and the results weren't cute.Using these folders, heavy, super-smooth cardstock, and foils I get by 100' rolls, my prints are coming out flawless every. single. time.

For Christmas, I received a Heidi Swapp Minc foiling machine—hooray! However, much to my dismay, it took some real trial and error learning how to use, even after perusing videos and the manual, so I actually ended up ruining the transfer folder that came with it. Oops. Thankfully, I was able to just order more here on Amazon, problem solved!These Minc Transfer Folders are the real deal, came packaged beautifully with zero damage or defects, and I am extremely pleased! That being said, they weren't what I was expecting originally. The description says that this listing comes with three transfer folders in two different sizes. That's correct, but actually, you end up getting a total of nine transfer folders. Ordering this listing will get you three packages of three! In each package, you'll get two large transfer folders, and one small, for a total of 6 large, and 3 half sizes. This was no problem for me, just a surprise. For the price, that's actually amazing, and I probably won't ever have to buy extra folders again.

For the price these are honestly pretty underwhelming, with just a few uses I can tell they’re already wearing, and probably won’t last much longer. I’d have to say from what I’ve heard from others it’s pretty disappointing as these just seem very cheap quality. But they work as described, and I guess we’ll see how long they hold up. If I remember I’ll come back and give an update. Four stars for now, until I see if my suspicions of them wearing out quickly is actually in fact true.

I'm surprised there are so many negative reviews, and I suspect that the problems people are having are not necessarily with these carrier sheets but with something else in their project. If you're using this with the actual Minc machines, on the recommended settings, it is unlikely that there would be an issue. I've used them for months and never had an issue. If you're using a laminator, you definitely have to play around with settings and thickness, etc. I have used them in both, and they work perfectly with the minc, but for a laminator you might have to do some trial and error with these sheets or other methods. I've bought these sheets twice and haven't had an issue with either pack at all.
