I like creating what I need in whatever program, printing on my laser printer, and then staining the page. I also iron the sheets with a tea towel over the top to smooth out the page if I want to write on it. Most recently we made a wanted poster and everybody got a copy. Super fun.
That is probably the better approach. Print then stain/age the paper. I tried it once and did not like the results but in hindsight I think the problem was that the images I printed needed to be darker and with more contrast to show up well after the staining. Also... how did I forget about wanted posters! Aged paper is perfect for that!
It is so dumb and yet so fun. When I retire, maybe I will wildly gesticulate, shaking these ancient papers as I rant and rave from my balcony. A good way to pass the time. 🤣
Those look awesome. I think it would be really cool to print out a 'print friendly' players guide (or full book) of some kind on that paper and then bookbind it. You'd want to make sure the pages are really flat of course to do like 30 pages at once. Very cool.
This is very good. I'm trying to make a page torn out of an ancient book with a reference to Illithids, like something out of myth. I think that super-textured look (from dabbing with paper towels) is the look I'm going for.
@@thegamingtome I actually like to burn the edges but that fits better with something like a pirate map. I have not tried sanding before staining. Maybe next time.
Yeah, I do most of my printing at the local library (100 pages a day in color for free, check your libraries, kids) - I'll stick to aging up my paper *after* I print it, not trying to get my card rescinded. Thanks for the comparison section, helps to inform me on which liquid to use for the appropriate setting and time period.
I acualy search for qwick stain paper. This is not qwick. Every junk journal maker know this from beginning (the time) creating vintige looking journals
Instructions unclear: Must now force feed 12 plates of casserole to my roommates.

Can you print details in color on laser print and than stain the paper
You totally tickled me when you waved that paper around

So you're saying this definitely requires tater tot casserole. Check ✅
Nicely done, great outcome 👍!
“It took a moment to sink in… hahaha (just kidding). Thanks for the great tutorial!”

Very cool.
That would be an epic player's guide!
I'd want to know if it's possible to do with books out already
@@wingedhussar1453 I think it would ruin any ink already on the page, so you'd want to do it before you print on it.
How do I get the casserole out of the printer?

thank you!!❤
You could just do the artwork via a printer and then age the paper afterwards. Just a thought.
Have you tried sanding the edges to soften them and add some mechanical wear?
I have not. I am afraid of losing that darkened edge that looks almost burnt on the darker pages.

How do u soften the edges woth what
You mentioned your second channel but I never heard the name and also never found a link. Fun video.
Oops. I meant to add it to the end screen and description. Thank you for the reminder.
@@thegamingtome Very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to view the comment.

How well to color vs B&W inks hold up to the aging process?
@Thomas-np3gi works great! If it's a prop I'm particularly worried might not age well, I'll print one or two extra in case I need to remake it.
Very solid!
Crackin’ vid! I’ll use this for my Indiana Jones Grail Diary prop replica.
Why not print the pages first, THEN age them? I feel like that would give a more authentic feel since then the text is also affected
I get you man 😎👍👍
now try doing some block printing (wood cut? potato cut ?)
🤨...🤔...💻...🤯
Neat!
Hi do u have a specific way to do this to a new whole book
Unfortunately no. Not to a whole book.
Is it easier to make stronger coffe if you wont darker pages. For me that work excelent and not losing time to do tvice same thing, and still you fail
I get you..
I understand😂
i get you

Tobey Maguire vibes.
Not the first time this has come up. At least it is not Bully Maguire!
