Yeah, I'm starting to use more and more proxies. Though I was totally down with them to begin with, it's my group I'm working on. My bro-inlaw got me into magic a couple years ago, so we bond over buying boxes and cracking packs. But I've at least convinced him we should stop pre-ordering and wait for box prices to drop. Our LGS had the Markov Manor playbooster box selling for even more than what we were paying for set booster box. Just wild. I think that was the last straw for him. Except for Fallout, of course. 🤪 I bought some blank cards a while back and one of these days wanna try doing a thermal transfer on them.🤞
Do you have any place I can learn more about printing my own cards? All I've been able to find is Chinese printers doing it for 1$ a card. I'd like to know if it could be done better or cheaper or on my own or something.
I'm afraid I've not actually done like DIY yet. My sister is one of those craft people who has like a crickit and a thermal press thing, so I'm reasonably sure it's possible with some blank cards I've bought and her sublimation printer(video), but I've not gotten the chance to test it yet.
I've also considered doing this: which is using a tool/website to put together a bunch of cards and then send it to a printer, but again haven't done it.

I have ordered some cards from this place, and they're not horrible, but the resolution wasn't quite as good as I was expecting.

For the most part, I still just take the tokens for doublesided cards and just write my card on the damn thing.
