DESCRIPTION

• The pen applies foil to the material using pressure and heat, with a clean finish even on highly detailed designs
• Ideal for personalising boxes, invitations, labels, stickers, cards…
• The kit includes three tip sizes: fine, standard, and thick
• The adapters allow the thermal pens to be used with various brands of plotters

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• If you use other brands of foil such as Heidi Swapp's Minc, perform preliminary tests. We do not know the compatibility of the kit with this foil

PRECAUTIONS

• Ensure to disconnect the thermal pen when not in use
• Do not leave the pen unattended while it is on
• Avoid touching the metal parts when in use, as they can cause burns
• Wait until the pen has completely cooled down before handling it
• Do not immerse the pen in water or other liquids, as there is a risk of electric shock

TIPS AND TRICKS

• To use the kit with Cameo 4, use the C adapter along with the blue Silhouette adapter. Before placing it in the tool holder, make sure to adjust the pen height using a blade as a reference to ensure the pen makes contact with the material
• Complement this personalisation technique with others such as screen printing, sublimation, heat transfer base, or embossing
• Use stencil templates to reproduce drawings and patterns like mandalas, symbols, logos, prints...
• Mark the foil with a stamp, trace it, or go over it to get a perfect design

THERMAL PEN USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

• Place the adapter according to your plotter on your Foil Quill pen
• Position the Foil Quill thermal pen in the tool holder
• Connect the USB to a power source
• Place the machine at a distance of 61 cm from the power source to allow the cable length to adapt to the machine's movement
• Once connected, the pen will light up
• Place the heat-resistant plate under the thermal pen to avoid damage
• Let the pen heat up for 5 minutes
• Meanwhile, you can set up the design you want to create
• Position the material to be personalised on your plotter's cutting mat
• Cut the foil for your design with a margin of approximately 2.5 cm on all edges
• Attach the adhesive tape to the edges of the foil to secure it to the material
• Ensure the foil is well-stretched and send the design to the plotter
