Easy Holographic Pokemon Cards Proxy DIY

[@rwbeezy1139]

Best how to on this I’ve seen yet. Good job. There’s such a lack of content on how to do this properly. Good job!

[@thefootballguyusa7941]

Awesome video! Thinking about dipping my toe into the custom card pond!

[@BrandonsRandoms]

What would you use to stick the fronts to a energy card? Glue?

[@KenVersus]

Maybe glue stick or spray adhesive

I’ve been waiting for someone to upload this for so long , thanks!!!

Hi there, I had a few questions. I am making some collectable cards for my students to be awarded when they achieve something awesome in class. 1. Do laminating sheets exist with Holo effects that you can slide a piece of paper into and feed through a laminator? 2. I saw some card sleeves that are holographic themselves and you can slide cards into. Do you think they would be effective? Thanks and awesome work 😃

[@KenVersus]

I am not aware of any holo lamaintor sheets. Only cold laminates like shown in this video. Card sleeves with the holo effect, could work but it’s not directly on the card. I think the method I use now in the video is the simplest.

[@jamesc8968]

[@jonahmiller988]

this was a great video but I have a few questions 1: how did you set up the layout on the program for print? 2: how did you get it to print out the front and back on one papr 3: what dimensions did you use for the layout to align the cards and the cards itself (i guess this would on question 1) 4: how do i put your custom template in incsape? the files i downloaded are html files

[@juanelizondo16]

[@kokochalai]

Hey there!! Just had a question- the holographic cold laminate film looks good on the card but it costs a lot. Do you have any idea what I can use to replace the sheet that would also be affective? Thank you.

[@MM-xj2lw]

Hi, I really liked your video! I do have one question though, do you have any ideas on how to add a texture to the cards that full arts have? I'm not looking for a specific pattern but just the general grainy look and feel that full arts have. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

[@fauxplants]

it's a process called embossing. you could probably attempt the process on a cricut machine if you have access to one.

[@4kleidisc]

i would think if you had a thick piece of paper like card stock, you could use a block of bumpy metal or something and push it onto the paper hard enough to leave a mark

[@PokeAmp]

i feel like using a thicker photo paper would make the cards much better at least 65lb maybe

[@MsCadyBabyy]

Any tips for generating the style of art? Did you make the art yourself or use a photo generator of some sort? Looking to make a gift!

[@natojigames]

Hi! Thx for the video! Which paper thickness do you use? The end result seems very thick after applying the holo, while the after print looks way softer! Would love to get your input! Thx again

[@OscSom]

What paper is most like Pokémon cards?

[@olsza]

what printer do u have? it's hard to align the back with the front, and your print is very precise.

[@FarhadPhotos]

Hi Ken, Great video! I am hoping you can answer a question for me. I recently attempted this but the holo sticker paper ended up washing out the blacks of the card. In addition, the holo looks very obviously like a sticker on top of a card. I am wondering if you think I just purchased poor quality holo paper or if this is simply how the cards will look?

[@sumtran3820]

How do you turn characters into the cartoon pokemon style like that post malone one?

[@Yoshi_VR]

Can you make a video adding texture to pokemon cards. I'm setting up a store for custom cards bit I want to have cards that have texture. Could you please help?

[@TAmoonface]

Thank you for the tutorial! I was wondering where you got the image for the card back from. If you could share the link that would be awesome!

[@TAmoonface]

@@KenVersus thanks a lot!

[@BunyaminS]

Did you try printing directly on holographic vinyl paper? or do you like the finish of laminating on printed (photo?) paper more?

[@puixel]

They looks great!!!, the only issue is that the sticker transparent paper will get yellowish over the years, don't know if there is any solution to this or depends on the brand.

[@staceeannmyers]

Do you know how to add texture to the cards? I am looking to make some custom cards with the look of a real card.

[@solo4908]

Hi ken that would be my question to me and to others if they could help me with what kind of good quality corner cutter you could recommend? (I'm looking for something similar to Kadomaru Pro) Or would I still have a question if, for example, at a thickness of 80 millimeters, would it be appropriate? (album and slevee)

[@rrrlee1273]

Hi just found this video and its very helpful thanks a lot! One question is there a way on the templates you provide to make the alignment of the cuts to be more centered?I noticed when I tried cutting them out using a paper cutter and using the guidelines to cut as uniformly as possible that the back of the cards varied in centering still some were more skewed to the left,right,top and bottom more. Im kind of ocd about stuff lol

[@KenVersus]

It’s really hard to get the backs to light up with the fronts. I have yet to find a solution to that. What I usually do is stick it to a real energy card so I don’t have this issue.

[@jiangowen6997]

I'm wondering how I can add some cool reflections on the cards?

[@ChristopherRo190]

Do the cards feel flimsy like a normal piece of paper or do they feel like the normal cards?

[@KenVersus]

They will feel flimsy. They’re good for displaying.

[@Gogies777]

IS the paper the same weight as the original pokemon card?if you want to be as close as its weight and rigidity,what type of paper would you suggest?

[@Fevdv]

ok so i actually researched this and you need paper between 340and 342g/m² (glossy ofc) to match the weight of an actual card. Since this exact weight is not available you have to choose between 300g/m² and 400g/m², i recommend using 400g/m² so your card doesn't feel like some cheap fake kick-off. But this is ofcourse your choice: lighter and cheaper paper or heavier but better and more expensive paper. Goodluck with your project!

[@lunamendez258]

@@Fevdv thank you bro

[@bryanrp]

Awesome tutorial!! I may start trying this out for my custom baseball cards. Do you know if using a sharpie for autographs on cards that have this on them would still work?

[@KenVersus]

the holo sheets I got are porous so sharpie should work on them.

[@KevinLim-l2v]

Hey ken can you add a link to the corner cutter and cutting machine that you use please?

[@xScaryFN]

i need help with the inkscape step. i can't figure out how to get the template right.

can you laminate them afterwards?

[@jamesc8968]

Sorry follow up question. Have you found any holographic paper you could print directly on to?

[@KenVersus]

They do exist, but I find the toner or ink doesn’t stick to it well.

[@lazy-hero.]

Hey bro is it photo paper (one side matt finish but the other side which contains same Pokemon logo what about it is it printed in back of the matt glossy paper?)

[@AFJP21]

Pls make a video how to print and place pokemon cards in a keychain pls

[@EugeneOneguine]

I wish you'd walk us through Inkscape. I can't get the automatic alignments like you had. I have to manually adjust the cards in a pixel-perfect way, it's exhausting.

[@GomezBeatz]

the letters on my pokemon card comes out a little blurry. not as sharp as yours. do you know how i can fix it ?

[@wahyuhendrawan5602]

[@jayatissabandarakariapperu9038]

What is the gsm of your printing glossy paper

[@studiovulcan4411]

I'm trying to figure out how thin these would be because I see people getting credit card stickers of these and I want to make one for myself but i'm not sure if this is how they're doing it or if this method makes them too thick and makes the credit card unusable so i need to find a different method.

[@DanielMartinez-ih3hq]

I opened your template and replaced your cards with mine. However they dont print... ONLY the black squares in your template. Is there a setting you might have left on when uploading your template that prevents me from printing the cards?. Nice work btw!

[@KenVersus]

That’s strange, I don’t there is anything that world prevent that. I use the same template.

Is there an advantage to printing 8 cards per page instead of 9? Do card backs line up better that way?

Some printers can’t print 9 because it was pad the print area and cuts off.

Is that really a laser printer? Because the image looks way too good on video. Usually laser printers print images in a lesser quality & DPI than an inkjet, even if the laser uses glossy paper.

Yup. It’s a brother mfc-9130 laser. Inkjet is still better though if you look really close up b

I don’t use discord, but I can try to answer your questions in the comment section of this video.

[@Cnnblt]

@@KenVersus how many quality must have each card in px to looks perfect? And how many quality must have the final document aswell?

[@KenVersus]

@@Cnnblt I think for a good quality print, you want images around 750x1050 pixels. The cards you find on pkmncards.com are roughly that size. You don't want lower res than that or it could look blocky. Some of the cards I created with PokeArt (iOS app) are 5MP (1890x2640). The higher the better. When printing with the Inkscape template, I print at 600dpi.

[@j1nir3t]

@@KenVersus Hello! I was just looking through comments to find a answer to a question I have, but this seems on the same topic of my question so I'll ask it here. How you print the pages? Did u export the project and go through extra steps or did u directly print it off inkscape? I have been trying to print on inkscape for a while, but I'm scared to mess something up like if the papers won't be double sided, be double sided with the same image on both sides, won't print in color, etc. If you print on inkscape, if its not too much of a hassle, I would like to know most of the important settings you had to change for it.

[@KenVersus]

I print directly from Inkscape. make sure you set the scale at 100% so it prints the full size. My printer doesn’t do double sided either. I just flip it over. But trial and error to figure out orientation of the paper since each printer is different.

[@robbyward5895]
