Default Laser Transfers and foil - can I do it?

I use my Okidata and Versatrans paper to create transfers. Now I would like to add some special effects like foil to my transfers.

Is it possible?

How do I do it?

Thanks for all the help.

You can try using metallic vinyl flex, cut on a cutting plotter and heat applied.

I suggest you send a PM to gbishop. He has done foil over Imageclip for laser printer using B/W Hp laser printer. You need a self weeding transfer in order to get detailed foil transfer and no polymer around the image that can ruin the foiled image. Or trim the transfer really close to the image using other brand of transfer paper.
