Power card art?

[Jack]

Laser printer would be nice as well though they don't usually accept photo paper and glossy laser printer paper is very expensive.

My printer, an all-in-one was bought for $80, down from $170. It was intended to be a scanner (it had an auto document feeder) for when I had to scan the binders with juicy OverPower information but it turned out to be a very good printer too.

I bought some 8.5x11 sheets from eBay, quite expensive at over $1/sheet but it looks pretty good for slotting in  the Avenger's ID and AP teamwork in my binders as place holders. I bet you can get a similar effect with regular acetate and just hovering them over a card in a sleeve. Much cheaper and there's no mess of sticking it to a card.

I've not tried using photo paper yet. So far I have just been printing off the proxys then I laminate them - with the lamination on them they come out to a pretty close thickness feel when compared to other OP cards (in a sleeve that is).

[Jack]

Lamination works good too, I just don't have access to a lamination machine or any pockets. I'll have pictures up in a bit, printing out cards from the 500x700 pixels instead of my usual 600DPI raw prints.

Where I work they were actually throwing away a good desktop lamintor and about 2 boxes (few hundred) of sheets for it - b/c one guy said it was "outdated." That's fine with me!  I'll put up some of my prints with the originals as soon as I can so we can see the difference in yours and mine....yours probably look better since I'm using the fancy printer

(by the way, I print onto blank labels the size of name badges. then stick'em to super-common OP cards. If I stick it to a card from the same set, it usually looks pretty darn good, if I do say so myself  )

I've read that from you before, and since the first time I read it, I've been looking for labels that would be large enough to cover a card and havent had much luck....

the labels I use don't actually cover the entire card. that's my comprimise for the convenience. It's really quick and very easy, but it's not going to fool anyone. But, they shuffle well outside of a sleeve, and certainly in a sleeve they do just fine

Yeah, thats what I mean, I can find those - but Im so OCD that I want something that will fully cover or closely cover

I forgot that green has a very difficult time printing on my printer.. anywho..

Left: Real, Right: Print







As you can see, the green is very bad.

My printing supplies:

My set of papers, I like the Staples brand paper the most.


My set of "to-use" ink cartridges. Some of these aren't $1/cartridge, but close to $2/cartridge.


My set of unopened ink cartridges. $40 for 40 is an awesome price, compared to $13/cartridge when you buy the "official" ink.

Looks good Jack!

I notice some are slightly off on color- barely - thats how most of mine are.

well, I think you can also find full sheet labels (not quite 8 1/2 x 11). then you could custom cut them to size

Yeah - but I dont cut straight  So I'm going for the lazier method of trying to find labels that are really close in size...

Impressive. Funny how the green ends up so differently while the other colors seem very spot on.

One of the few benefits of being color-blind, they look great to me!
