Here is a video of the KSF Mini hot foil machine by Metallic Elephant here in the UK.
I was fortunate enough to live within driving distance of the factory that makes these, so I went there to meet the owner Karl French.
The factory is a state of the art facility right in the heart of the countryside around Colchester. The factory and offices are located inside refurbished barns on a massive farm surrounded by beautiful fields. It looks like something from a postcard!
With a good mixture of traditional workmanship and modern CNC machinery, this place was a feast for the eyes for anyone interested in mechanics and tech.
I got to have a tour of the factory, which included a rather nice american style diner complete with booths. Karl seems to love Americana! It's pretty cool.
After having a play on all the models in the show room, I was taken through some tricks of the trade and given quite a bit of useful information to take away with me. All in all I was there about 6hrs!
I hope you enjoyed the video. Let me know if you have questions!
The lifted face is genius. Is there hot foil apart from gold and silver? Like a red or a white?
Great review, really making me consider it for expansion.
