On May 31, 2023 (Wednesday), Brother will release a new foil printer `` HAK110 '' that can easily print foil in response to the toner when you print the design you want to print with a laser printer. With the HAK110, you can easily print foil even from one sheet, so I tried to see what kind of printer it actually is.

First, open the box of HAK110 and take out the contents.

The HAK110 main unit was in a bag with a handle so that it could be easily pulled out of the box. In addition, since there is considerable weight, it is better to take out with multiple people if possible.

I was able to pull the bag out.

When the main body weight was measured with a scale, it was displayed as 14 kg. The spec sheet says about 16.3kg, so it may not be measured well.

There is a part like a dent at the bottom of the main body, but here is a dent to put your hands on when moving. Be careful as it may break if you put your hand on the tray and move it.
