Professional printing machines and quality personal printing machines can print these. Of coarse, if you don't mind thin cards, you can always print them on 80 or 90g papers. In that case, I would suggest putting 2 or more extra layers of paper to make the card thicker.

 

A lot of people use Chinese or bad original cards to strengthen the printed ones. I wouldn't recommend doing this, as usually the rarest cards are made in proxy form, which are often the staplers for the deck you made or its main strategy cards. Making them thicker would give them higher chance for being drawn.

There is more than one way to do this. I only know of two.

 

The first is:

1) Find a printer with gold/silver foil

2) Print just the lettering in 100% black (CMYK is preferred)

3) Lay the gold/silver foil over the lettering

4) Run it through with an iron or through an ironing machine

5) Print the rest of the card

 

The second is:

1) Find a goldstaming machine

2) Goldstamp the names

For what?

 

your tut. the thread im replying to.

 

I thought you wanted to make a tut on silver and gold lettering...

 

Create a GIMP tut' date=' but don't post it here. If you want I can add it to the main post under a new number...

 

Spoilers aren't needed.

 

What spoilers?

 

Did you mean in the shortcuts... I corrected that.

Damn, what is the size supposed to be in pixels?

 

And how would you make it bigger without getting it blurry?

 

In GIMP?

 

Wait a sec, did I just necrobump?

I am so screwed.

Photoshop offers A LOT more options for editing than Word.

I haven't worked in GIMP, so I don't know. In photoshop, you can correct that problem using Filter>>Sharpen>>~what ever gives you the best result~. And the sizes are:

300px/inch - 709x1028

150px/inch - 354x514

72px/inch - 170x247
