you basicly left out the most important part of the process....how do we get the printed image, onto the clear foil card?
I guess I didn't explicitly say or show that. The adhesive transparencies have a paper backing that you peel off, and then you stick the foil face of the card onto the adhesive side of the transparency. Cut around the edges, and you're done :) Hope that helped!
I was honestly confused about that a bit as well, my brain must have skipped over the transparent part of the adhesive xD
Is there no way you know of the print directly onto the foil card? Or, alternatively, do you know of paint that works over the foil card?
There is a way to basically print directly on the card, but it is a lot harder. Planning on making an advanced proxy tutorial to cover this, as it has the best result :)
@@MTGDegree Not to necro too hard, but were you still thinking of making that advanced tutorial?
I've been looking for something like this for years. Time to bling my EDH Commanders. Thank you so much!
honestly expected this video to be 15 minutes long, but you really have found an incredibly easy way to do this. Thanks for the explanation.
Yes, I’ve been wanting this video for so long!!!
I’ve been using Mtg set editor to make proxies and tokens. The draw back is that it is harder to get the image to overlay the boarder there.
However, I can print out nine at a time on a sticky transparency
Awesome I had been looking for affordable adhesive backed transparency sheets. Thank you do much for pointing these out! :D
Thank you! I’ve been shopping around for decent transparencies!
I think you skipped an ENTIRE step here.
What???
Printer settings.... then suddenly cutting it out? What?
I have used these transparencies many times and they work very well. The one downside is if anything scratches them the ink comes off very easily. They are not like the old transparencies you used to be able to buy at staples.
I know this video is old but I found it really useful. But what kind of properties like pixel heights do you use for the MTG cards for full arts and also on the regular cards I'm sure you've used? I'm just getting into this and would love to know!
Some minutes after doing (step by step) your tutorial there are some bubbles through the card, any tips ? thanks
yea and where should we get high quality drafts for editing the cards in photoshop? i cant find template lands or anything in high resolution...
What are the name of the adhesive transparencies that you use?
Good video! I only wish you could go into a tad bit more detail about correct sizing though
Please link what you printed these on, since OfficeMax discontinued their window decals, I can't find a good replacement product.
With a what kind of printer did you work?
Would it be a good or bad idea to put another clear paper to protect the ink?
lookin very nice! the thing is all of the card face printout is holographic.
is there anyway to print just the character illustration as holo while keeping the rest of the card matte? (like those 1st gen pokemon card)
paint with white craft paint underneath
What is this paper called
of which this card is made of ?
Have you ever tried making multiple layered cards to get some what 3d effect?
Where do you get the art? I want alternate arts to choose from but I can’t find any online for some reason
were did you get the land template
Could you please share the type or brand of transparencies you use? I’m having a hard time narrowing down the type and would like to have similarity good quality on some foil tokens I’m making for a friend for Christmas
Nice video! What can i do if i want the girl fully printed with no transparency and only get the background ( the sea) foil?
Where are you finding the MTG templates for photoshop? Or are you making your own? Thanks.
what do you use for cancel the color from the foil card? ;-)
what happens if you do that on a non-foil card ? Is the result good looking despite the white background of magic cards ?
My question is, how did you get the mtg card size accurately on photo shop for printing?
The dimensions of a card are 2.5in by 3.5 in
Would this work for normal cards? Not foiled or anything? Could you jsut stick the photo paper on the card?
How do I get the print to the right scale for the card? My proxies suffer from the issue of being to small.
Save the image from your editing software and then put in word or pages then resize it using right click then format auto shape then size. 3.5in by 2.5in
Can you just spray a sealer over the ink to protect it?
Can you make a video about how to specific on editing the image?
what can I do with a non-inkjet printer that does a4 paper not letter
do you know how to only make the background foil and not the character and text boxes?
Where did u get the template for the card ?
I've had great results with this method thanks! However I have 2 major problems. 1 on carda with lots of dark color in it the ink doesn't dry period. Like I'll put it in front of a heater for 15 minutes and sleeve it and it looks fine but in the morning I can see spots on the inside of the sleeve where the ink has become wet. My 2nd problem is the bottom of the cards tend to have the ink scraped up easily around the borders when sleeving it any ideas on what I can do to fix these 2 issues? Maybe if there was a way for me to send you pictures about what I'm talking about it would be easier to help. Thanks so much for the tutorial, I love making my own gorgeous foil proxies so much now!
Is there a different kind of paper you use now I see this video is 2 years old. I have a canon pixma 492 something or other and I usually use the setting high quality paper and high but there are options for photo paper and gloss paper. Do you have any thoughts on that? I dont have the budget to feel too comfortable experimenting around right now personally to figure out some better things to do.
Also, what effect does the gloss spray have, does it protect the ink any? What brands have you tried personally for spray!
Wait, so do you print on these sheets or directly onto the card?
cfusionpm The sheets. They have an adhesive back to stick to the card.
mtg cards dimensions you used in proxys ?
Don’t some of the newer foils like BFZ forward not rub off like the old ones? Thought I saw that somewhere
Very true. It's weird because some old foils are the same way (I think around Innistrad?). I found Shadows over Innistrad does not come off, but for some reason the Ixalan set of foils are easily removed. Not sure at all why some sets work and some don't.
This reminds me, back in the day, as a joke we would use pink erasers to erase the face of a card then slip it to people's deck, as a joke to see their reactions when they pulled. It became a running joke because it got passed around and the challenge became sneaking it because we all knew. If you suspected someone of putting it in your deck when cutting, you would call them on it but if you were wrong, you were shamed. It all in good fun and bragging rights, of course they would just draw another. This was pre-sleeve days
What kind of printer do you use?
Inkjet. Changed the title to reflect that :)
Do you have any tips for protecting the ink from scratching? I'm finding they stay tacky for a long while, and scratch fairly easily at the edges while sleeving.
??? you shouldn't have a problem if you sleeve them
@@jamestravaglia3510 even sliding some carefully into perfect-fits, sometimes the edges scratch, or spots remain tacky and stick to the sleeve and it looks splotchy.
@@omfgximjustin ok, watch this video it gives WAY more detail on how to do it well th-cam.com/video/d4BWGppW-mE/w-d-xo.html
Also, how did you make it out of card, not paper? Did you just put cardboard in the printer?
Can I use a laser printer?
which sets are best to use for removing the ink from the foils?
Fingernail polish remover works amazingly well. I just removed the ink from two cards in about 2 minutes. I'm going to do 8 more so I can print out some dual land proxies!
Since i don't have a printer of my own, i'm gonna have to go get them printed somewhere, and will be at the mercy of the print shop's printer settings
Hey, so I tried this method and i'm losing detail on some of my cards due to their white background mixing into the foiling of the cards, is there any specific way i should print the cards to prevent the white or detail from being compromised?
"White" will always become "clear" when printing on a transparency. If you lower the whites or highlights on the image you can make it print in those areas more, or increase the saturation of the image to make your printer lay down more ink. I hope this helps, good luck!
Thanks for the advice, increasing the contrast worked great, but the white backgrounds im making still arent showing up. I've pretty much just given up on lighter backgrounds and started using darker ones.
Good luck in your experiments! :)
Make the white an off-white in the color picker and that should help@@stevenle1935
Ok late to the party here, how to you line up your cards and size them correctly to print. I made a bunch of cards in photoshop and exported them to PNG but Im a novice and dont know how to format them to be able to press print and have 6-8 cards on 1 page
Nice hope u make more tutorial like this.. :)
you didn't explain what I'm printing it on? the card? the paper?
Ink drying time to the longest setting? What does that mean?
some printers have this setting, it's usually for glossy photo paper where the ink doesn't absorb easily into the paper, and you want the highest print quality which sprays the most ink. Ink dry time helps prevent warping from ink drying, and smudging from being fed through the printer
Frenzied raptor → anime girl Island. Doesn't seem legal but it's definitely a fair trade. Lmao.
You just cut from photoshop to the finished image. How did you make the foil show through
Its because of the specific material he printed on
Does this significantly affect the thickness of the card?
I think it adds 2-3 mm to the card
@@dayari139 2-3mm is huge when we're talking about something that's not even 1mm thick.
@@DoctorCataclysm Oh, mb xd. I meant 0.2-0.3
Ah, too bad I've got a laser printer at home xD
Wait really this is all it takes. Damn
Hello,
What is the substance you use to rub the face on the card?
I hope you'll see this comment.
Acetone is used to clean foil card faces from the ink
or nail polish remover
im gonna use this process to make custom yugioh cards
Your alive?
Can Someone post a link to the acetone? Cause mine actually didn't work AT ALL like his
you can just use nail polish remover, any dollar store brand is fine.
@@jamestravaglia3510 not in italy apparently, i tried and I din't really see the efficiency
@@matteomarchiorato1012 well I'm a fifthly American, what can I say :|
Already saw this on youtube I can't find any affordable transparant sticker sheets
There are six in this pack, so you can make them for about a quarter each when printing six per sheet. If you buy the fifty pack, your cost-per-card would be around 20 cents.
what brand? have a link?
Does this work on Yu-Gi-Oh! cards too?
I'm talking about the putting the foil onto the card part. Sorry for any confusion!
so if you could post just the raw footage of you on Photoshop that would be awesome. i have very minimal knowledge of Photoshop.
Don't need photoshop.... unless you wanna make really wild cards like the full-face one in the video
However if you just wanna make a high quality proxy: magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/
Best proxy maker I've ever used. you do have to find your own art (because copyrights) but it gives you *far* superior clarity over modifying a card image, as this program has the fonts and the layouts to make one from scratch. Your proxies can do whatever you like as the text box is blank.
2:49 can't you just use a seal spray?
I'm personally looking to find a product to protect the ink better I'm having significant issues with damage and bleeding on cards with darker ink used. Have you tried any sealant sprays for proxying or could you send a link to a good video showing some sort of sealant!
pls i need this
Are u gonna return to regular videos amy time soon, I miss the content
Are anime girl lands tournament legal?
Aro Mac Nope! The transparency changes the thickness of the card very slightly.
tokens are the only things that are tournament legal when customised
Is there any method to making original thickness proxies? Or should I stick to doing tokens?
@@BandedMagikarp although they're technically not legal, and a judge technically should enforce this according to the rules... If you're playing in a small town FNM that's tight knit, there is a chance no one will care. Especially if you're not a particularly spikey / suspected of cheating. If anyone does have a problem, don't fuss, just take a second to swap em out. DO NOT bring stuff like this up to a serious tournament, or you may be forced to forfeit game one in order to swap them out. Plus, it's mainly an edh/cube thing anyway.
Please use glove :D
Sounds like duel logs
Hey Brother do you have an Instagram or Facebook I’m interested in learning more about this process
i feel so stupid trying to use a photo editor........
Why not just buy the foil card blanks lol
Not an alter, but a proxy.
Weak tutorial
I sort of agree, he should have showed us how he does what he does
Plz use gloves when you working with acetone. It's not realy that healthy.
Magic players are so funny with how they put cards into penny sleeves. It is not a top loader because you put the top of the card in first. It is because you load the card from the bottom into the top of the loader. No card collector in sports or other areas do it this way. But every magic player does. Why?
He didn't put it into a penny sleeve. He put it into a perfect fit sleeve. The reason he puts the card in so that the bottom edge of the card is on the open end of the sleeve is because the card will then go into an outer sleeve. The open bottom edge of the perfect fit sleeve will be at the closed bottom of the outer sleeve, which will essentially create a seal when combined with the outer sleeve in that way. Magic players do this because it protects the card from any liquid damage when playing. There are videos of people dunking double sleeved cards under water for multiple seconds and there is no water damage to the card at all. Sports cards aren't meant to be played with and shuffled so there isn't a need to do it this way.
