1000+ questions about gold, silver, and metal leaf; gilding supplies, tools, techniques; edibles; craftwork; and troubleshooting.
Use gold foil with the system made for that process. Craft foil, hot foil, decorative foil, and genuine leaf are different products.
Gold foil printing usually refers to a printing or transfer process, not traditional gold leaf gilding.
Foil printing commonly uses heat, pressure, toner-reactive foil, adhesive, or a machine process to transfer a metallic layer to paper or packaging. That is different from applying loose or patent gold leaf with gilding size.
If the goal is printed stationery, packaging, or Cricut-style craft work, use foil products designed for that process. If the goal is a true gilded surface, use gold leaf and the appropriate size system.
