The foil sticks to the toner.  so you print how you would normally
print onto the transparancy for the transfer, then you stick this foil
on top of the toner, and heat it.  The toner melts, and sticks to both
the transparancy and the foil.  Peel the sheet of foil away, and
wherever there was toner, there will now be foil on top.

Its used to make things metalic, like a seal on a certificate would be
gold or whatnot.

The remaining foil is probably trash, i seriously doubt it could be
used as a negative.
