  • The software will ask you to add the foil at the appropriate time. When adding the foil, you cannot cover any of the black box with tape. I like to cut my tape pieces in half lengthwise. Then cut your foil where it is slightly smaller than your box. Add the foil to the print with the tape be cautious not to cover any of the box.
