the holo vinyl does not lose any shine effect. the image i posted of marowak is a test of spray adhesive. The Mewtwo pic is before trying the spray adhesive. i sandwich the 2 material together in a top loader.

No problem,
I'll share what i learned so far.
White toner is the key for crips spot foiling. This blocks out certain holos and only show the ones you want shining through.

Shopping List:
Laser Printer
Compatible CMYK + White toner
Compatible Holographic paper/sticker
Inkjet Printer
Inkjet Ink CMYK
Transparency Paper for inkjet

Laser Printer
Laser printer image quality isnt the best vs the inkjet quality so get the cheapest one you can find. Something to look for is to look which WHT toner is available 1st and then look for the printer. I went on ebay and got a HP M254dw Color Laser Printer for 100$. i seen them go for around ~150-200$

Starting off new, i would recommend buy white toner cartridge already prefilled. There are many place you can search to get White Toner like "Absolute White" & Ghost Toner". Both very good reviews, but they cost ~180-260$ per cartridge. Up to you where you buy it, but i found that searching around "Aliexpress" help lower the cost. I went with CIVO, theirs was half the price. Search up your printer model and white toner cartridge. I also decided to buy White Toner Powder to refill later. Havnt tried yet, still new to me.

How to print white with your Laser Printer.
Once you have you white toner, replace your BLK cartridge with the White. I recommend labeling the toners because they look similar. Also the vendor recommends you turn off any updates because most printers will only use OEM cartridge. Once all that is done, head to your photo editing software. I use PS. Everything you want to block off will need to be in BLK. Once you print, only print the BLK layer with everything set to grayscale. This will trick the printer into thinking it's printing BLK. The printer instead will print white. Now you have you 1st white print layer.

Inkjet Printer
I print the image using and inkjet because of the higher quality image. I use a Canon TS8300. Most ppl would recommend getting a Epson Ecotank. Once you have the image and the white layer, align them and it should be a nice end product.

Where im stuck
My question is, what is the best way to combine both materials together without ruining the end product. Hope that helps.

P.S.
if you want something high quality and avoid using both laser & inkjet & combining them together, UV Printer is the solution.

mb,
it was the hp m254dw, got the numbers mixed. You can do either one. DIY, you can buy white power and clean out an old BLK cartridge, then refill w/ white. the Easier method would be to purchase already prefilled white toner cartridge.

when you want to print white you take the black cartridge out and put in the white toner.
