Printing directly to blank cards?
« on: January 22, 2020, 02:45:46 pm »

Has anyone had luck printing fancards directly to the blank cards?  Any "how to" pointers appreciated.  I saw that Avery labels could be used.  Just wondering if somehow a direct print was possible to keep the exact same thickness. 

TIA

thats a maybe, if you have an inkjet printer that 1: doesn't turn/bend the paper at all and 2: is paper-size configurable down to 59×91mm.
those aren't really common traits on a consumer-grade inkjet printer in 2020

laser onto blanks doesn't work, and even inkjet has a chance of pooling/running based on the thickness of the card's finish.

there's a great youtube video from James Ernest/cheapass games that talks about options for card-making but unfortunately the sleeved proxy method is the only one well suited to dominion fan-cards that don't stand out based on thickness.
