OK....I am looking for ANY label maker/printer that can print in gold and silver foil or ink. I have tried my hand at cutting stencils to use with gold leaf but its a real PITA. I know of the Alps MD-5000. Are there any others that you guys know of that can do this job and don't cost an arm and a leg? Also I would prefer to buy something thats not an obsolete model.
Thanks, Dave Re: gold foil printer

Few, if any, laser or ink jets will print true metallic colors. There are some foil printing kits at places like Office Depot and Staples but I have no idea how well they work. They are designed to be used in laser printers, I think.

David,
I bought the Alps for the sole purpose of printing metallics. It's the only printer that I know of that will do that. I don't know what you consider an arm and a leg but I t hink I paid about $300 plus shipping from Australia for mine. If you plan on doing lots of decals you might consider that route. I like the convienence of being able to make my own decals at any time of any size. My .02. Randy. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
