Printing help

[TheCreator1401]

Hi guys i need help with printing cards. I KNOW IT'S ILLEGAL, but i dont play in tourneys and i have many friends that have printed cards even from cardmaker but they aren't OP so i made some too and want to print real cards, but i dont know how should i make them the exact size. Does anyone know what is the size in cm?

First of all - it is not (!) illegal, it's only illegal if you purchase the Cards.
The exact size you will find on the Internet. Then you Need a really good Printer, pretty thick paper and a Card Background. Then you put them into word, put them into the correct size (which as is said you will find on the Internet) and give them the Background by printing both sites. I think that is the easiest but maybe one of the most expensive ways to print out realistic YGO-Cards.
 

Hope my English is correct :D

It is not illegal to print your own created cards. It is not illegal to print cards made by Konami. It is illegal to print cards and sell them as if they are real. It is illegal to print your own cards and enter real life tournaments (for cash) with them. I'm not sure where it is, but there is a tutorial about printing your own cards on this forum somewhre, I'll look for it and link you to it.

 

 

 

1. Make sure the card(s) you've made are saved in an easy-locatable place on your hard-drive.

2. Try to print Nine (9) cards at the same time on one A4 sheet, so open them all up in a program such as Microsoft Word, or Microsoft Publisher, and leave a gap between them, so it is easier to cut later.

3. Make sure that every card has the dimensional width of:
2.3125 inches and a hight of 3.375 inches,
or a width of 5.9 Centimeters and Hight of 8.6 Centimeters.

4. Make sure you have an A4 size printer. Buy some "Photo Paper" or "High Gloss Paper" and set your printer settings compatible with the paper.

5. Print it off, in High-Definition. Make sure it is HD, because it can easily get messed up otherwise.

6. Time to cut out. Get a very sharp knife, and a ruler (scissors will also do, but a knife can be more accurate), place the ruler up against the edges of the card, and cut out!
Note: Guillotines can also be used (not the head-chopping off ones...).

7. Check the thickness of your card. If it seems the same thickness of a real card, just print the back of the card onto the, well, back of the card. If not, you can print off another sheet with card-backs on, and stick them together.

Make sure to use Card Stock, not actual Paper. If you wish to use printing paper, it would work to glue the printed card on top of an unwanted old card.

 

Hope I helped!
