Which laminator? Does it have a temp control? If so, it should be set
on Foil or whatever is the hottest setting. If it does not have a temp
control, then I can almost guarantee it will never get hot enough.

"Foil" is specifically supposed to be hot enough to melt toner for
those laser foil transfers.
