I love your videos Martin! Thanks for the info!
You said you were using the "cut inside the frame" method and you are! :D This video is basically exactly the same method I use when doing laminated cards, except I've kind of just decided on using normal thin office paper. The laminated end result is actually pretty close to a normal plastic playing card, at least with the pouches and settings I use. Also, I wish I could get as good alignment when printing...
Beautiful job - thanks for the pro PnP tips!
I was able to get a duplex printer under $100 on sale. This saves alot of time and headaches with re-aligning the cards in the tray. Thanks for sharing.
That's pretty much how I do mine, I find I getter better alignment if I manually flip the pages, instead of letting the printer do full auto duplex. For those cards you did in this video, I would add a 5mm bleed of black round the whole block of 4x4, as the backs were all black round the outside anyway, then cut accurately from the front. I prefer cards with full bleed, how Iron Helm is, just dropping the hint as I know you are doing the expansions for Jason. Thanks, keep up the good work.
Amazing!!
Great job man
Any tips on aling the cards in the document?
Nice tutorial! So is that pro neo corner puncher much better than the original kadomaru pro puncher?
I think i have to combine your tricks but not sure about my strategy yet but i hope u can tell me if it would work. I cant do duplex cardstock but i think i have to do two pages of 80 gsm which is total of 160 gsm (90 lbs) and glue them together with spray and go for 5mil laminate instead of 3mil, not glossy but half matte version. Those laminate sheets are expencive but so is 3 mil glossy versions, just bit cheaper.
So... What specifically have you done to align this?
How can i design cards in canva and do this?
Do you have anywhere list or know where to find a good list where can be found good PnP files. I want my frist files for practice so i dont want to start something that takes 100 sheets :)
Hmm... I run mine through the laminater on the 5m setting twice. Maybe I been doing too much? Great video tho! Thanks!
hey Martin, No matter what i do, i can never get my front and back to perfectly align, atleast not when directly printing from a pdf like you did. My printer seems to print towards the left rather than centring the image on the page. Any tips and tricks to avoid this??
Bro which Printer do you use and which printer (cheap) do you suggest to print playcards?
Today I purchased gate, will you make PNP for expansion (gates)?
Hello, I like to know, what is the name of the program you use. To either view and or edit your pdf files and if it can convert files like png to pdf or vice versa. Thank you for the information in the comments, about the printer you use, my printer though reliable is no good for card making. Thank you for this great video..
Would you recommend Matte laminating sheets for easier shuffling?
Have you ever tried a matte laminating pouch?
