Printing Custom Cards - zombie_slayer - 02-17-2010 06:56 PM
How do you guys print/mount/etc. your custom character cards? Do you just print them on photo paper at home? I can't seem to get the size right.

Well, I have some photo paper that is 4 X 6 that seems to be the perfect size for the Character cards, as for mounting them, one person suggested black poster board, unfortunately I haven't found one that is sturdy enough, it all is pretty flimsy. I also have been looking for a back of the Character Cards because when I try scanning the real thing, the image looks pretty poor.
I figured the photo paper would add to the sturdiness of the card, but I am still on the look out for something that is thinner than cardboard, but is thicker than black poster board. I am doing my best to try and make them blend in with the real deal as best as I can so if the cards are picked at random, you won't just pick all the custom heroes, though I know that will be hard.

black chipboard or natural, I prefer the black.

I use old Magiccards (commons that is) to put the customcard on. The back of the card I also cover with a back of the LNOEcard.
