i make the cards in magic set editor then export the picture file of the card, then flip it in photoshop but its too big to fit on a card once i import it to photoshop, and if i resize it, it becomes distorted, any ideas on how to flip and resize without distortion?
same method to de-ink, just very annoying… gives me headaches…
by the way, does anyone know how to make it less fake looking? I got some transparencies but they are too thick and gives off a very visible glare… It looks so ugly and fake and shit.
@Burntoutglowstick in printing, use preferences and make a mirror image.
THX man, amazing
I’m having problems finding the proper dimensions, for when I print — it will fit on the card. I’m using Photoshop CS4. D; Any help?
amazing ! thx dude !
dude this is bad ass. how much would something like this go for if i was to pay for it
In a week or so I will be posting an new video with an updated method and should clarify some of the other points regarding the process.
Cheers.
this was really cool! i never would have thought about it. nice vid!
zendikar and worldwake foils work the best. the hardest i pressed on the acetone-soaked cloth, the easier the ink came out. got mine done in about 20-30 seconds
does it have the same feeling as the real card? i mean the front part
@Burntoutglowstick When using Photoshop, make sure you hold down the Shift button when re-sizing the image. It locks the image ratio so that both horizontal and vertical directions are changed simultaneously. Also make sure to resize it by dragging one of the corners of the image.
@HarderTimes
I have a inkjet canon but the quality of print is bad

hey, tried your method on white blank cards and it works very well, but when i try it on foiled cards, the immage doesnt look as good as yours did, got any tips for foils peticularly? thnx.
How long do you have to wait for the ink to dry?
Question: How did you get the pictures of the cards to print at the exact right size?
@HarderTimes i going to triy this now i have a use for all of the mindless nulls i have!
very cool, where do you get our card art from? thanks
As odd as this may sound, there are other ways to take the ink off of foil cards. I discovered this by using a foil Yu-Gi-Oh! card that had paint sploges on it from when it was printed. Rather than using Acetone, I used toothpaste. That’s right, toothpaste. Arm & Hammer All in One Gel. The only thing is that it’s hard to keep inside the boarder sometimes.
oh damn i wanna do this
just no idea how to get all the materials :>
Does anyone know if this works with non-foil cards?
@parkour86 It doesn’t work.
@shadowblade90222 What’s the process to removing the ink from a non-foil card?
