How To Print Proxy Cards - A Complete Guide (One Piece, Pokemon, Yugioh, Magic, Digimon, Etc)

[@MabiTCG]

Links in the description for all links to products I recommend. (BTW: I messed up on the translation photoshop part, lol. But you get the idea of printing regardless.)

[@Stephen-we6do]

Wow, your proxy cards look amazing. This is a good way to get cards for local/casual gameplay.

[@MabiTCG]

hell ye

[@beattieboi91]

Great video, appreciate it! Allowed to use proxies in store due to stock delays so this definitely helped as I had no idea where to start!

[@MabiTCG]

Glad it helped! Let me know if you need anything else clarified

[@kytsunix1654]

I did the first method to print out Rainbow Luffy proxies for the OP06 pre-release in my local

[@MabiTCG]

Great in a pinch, :D

[@archimedesofeastblue2744]

my guy, you are a real one for making this video❤❤❤❤

[@MabiTCG]

Hope it helps

[@ronthebeast]

Any tips on printing Exburst content? Whenever I print from there, the cards are slightly smaller than the actual cards.

[@MabiTCG]

When you print if you have the option, bump it up by 2-3% (102%-103%)

[@ronthebeast]

@MabiTCG Thank you🙏. Love the proxied videos. I have tons of UA JP cards. I wish I could just proxy the text so I can see the actual cards..lol

[@MabiTCG]

I know what you mean! Translations are great but you lose a lot of the art, :D

[@AmineL-es3dk]

just got into proxies, thanks for the guide

[@MabiTCG]

Enjoy!

Should I use QYH Premium Printable Vinyl Sticker Paper - 50 Matte White Waterproof Decal Paper Sheets for Inkjet Printer Standard Letter Size 8.5"x11" for the back and Thick Heavyweight Photo Paper Double Sided Glossy Cardstock 80LB 300Gsm for the front

[@MabiTCG]

Wouldn't be able to give you a good recommendation on double sided paper for double side printing, :(

[@Kitixy]

Which paper is good for yugioh cause I want to make the anime cards with front and back together on the same card

[@MabiTCG]

I haven't tried using any back printing yet

[@Kitixy]

⁠@@MabiTCG would you make a video on making back printing cause I can’t find no showing how to do it

[@xratedsuperstar1987]

Are you going to be exploring with foil paper? I used to make proxies until my laser printer went out. I still used everything you mentioned minus a laser printer instead of the epson you use but i also used a laminater because the ink would rub off on the foil paper so i laminated it to keep the ink on the card it worked well. If you do find a good foil paper please do an updated video. 😊

[@MabiTCG]

I haven't had the need to try out foil yet. I make so much in batches it'd be expensive to keep that up.

[@xratedsuperstar1987]

@@MabiTCG could try it out just for the alt arts leaders.

[@pjapoduck]

How did you solve the problem where appear lines on the card impression??

[@MabiTCG]

Gotta set the printer speed as slow as possible. Depends on the printer but for mine but had to set it on "Silent" mode to it goes slower in general in that mode

[@solpayne7698]

Is cool and I am on board with this. But, it all depends on your locals. Some will be okay with it some aren’t okay with this.

[@MabiTCG]

Absolutely. In the end we're just trying to play though, D:

[@AlexTheDonhat]

How do you print them without those lines? (printer lines) 16:52

[@MabiTCG]

I explained in the video. Make sure your printer is set to print as slow as possible

[@fg4tk906]

I bought the exact printer and exact paper in your des. but every time i go to print it says my paper is jammed any reason why this is?

[@fg4tk906]

it seems the paper in your des is too thick being 300gsm, on their website it says that the et 2800 only supports up to only 100 GSM which is weird to me because you are using 300 gsm in the video correct?

[@MabiTCG]

Doesnt officially support that size. Mine does though, make sure you’re not putting too mich paper at once. Also slow print speed

[@fg4tk906]

@@MabiTCG i have all the setting set to the video. the exact printer you have in the des aswell as the paper you recommended the 300gsm no backing. I have been putting one sheet on the tray when i go to print , the printer does not feed the paper and says that the printer is jammed.

[@fg4tk906]

@@MabiTCG i figured out the issue changed the setting to plain paper and just applied some pressure to feed the paper and it came out nice

[@MabiTCG]

Nice!

[@captaincrete3433]

By any chance how do you arrange 8 individual proxies on just one page?

[@MabiTCG]

2550x3000 page 2x4 card setup

[@Kevin720c]

hey Mabi! Im interested in using the middle option the thin glossy paper. What paper is that ? just got in to proxyes and I really like the color of the glossy paper. I want to combine that with the junk card for support. Its easier since i'm printing on a store and not at home. Makes everything simpler

[@MabiTCG]

Hey! It's the HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, Glossy. The link is in the description, :D

[@darrenkeane3034]

Do you have UA templates for proxy’s?

[@MabiTCG]

Check out the Exburst Union Arena website

[@dfgxx-42]

Did you make a foil proxies?

[@MabiTCG]

I didnt cover foil but there’s specific foil paper overlays you can buy to sticker over to make them shiny

[@dfgxx-42]

Thanks, I'm trying to make a 2 deck Pokémon proxies​@@MabiTCG

[@dfgxx-42]

If it turns out good, maybe I'll make a video

[@MabiTCG]

Ooo nice do it. I'd like to see your end results

[@Ayrton.Cordoba.V]

Great video! Quick question: which software and printing settings you used?

[@MabiTCG]

I just use GIMP (Free) Nothing changed in print settings, just slow speed

[@NickPeltsman-rf9uh]

Hello Mabi! The link for the 300 GSM paper on Amazon isn’t available, and I’ve spent some time looking for the same paper but can’t find any. Do you have any recommendations on where else I could find the paper? Thank you!

[@MabiTCG]

Hey! Yup currently unavailable. For a substitute I'm currently testing out this one. It's bit thinner but might do the trick anyways. I have the paper but haven't printed on it yet amzn.to/3VxGJc7

[@NickPeltsman-rf9uh]

Thank you very much I appreciate it!

[@Lucaslarangeira88]

Hey Mabi thank you for the videos! Which paper in the links that you actually used for this video, the 230g or the 300g?

[@MabiTCG]

The heavier one the 80lb 300Gsm one

[@dekusta]

Would be nice to have the sample watermark remove in some cards

[@MabiTCG]

Check out: onepiece.gg/builder/2xuq5pqls5/ They have most cards without

[@movses89]

I'm using a semi gloss 80lb paper but I keep getting bleeding on the paper. How do I fix this?

[@MabiTCG]

Depends on the printer & ink type. I'm not using a typical ink. It's a fast drying bottle ink

[@movses89]

@@MabiTCG aren't you using the one that came with the printer?

[@MabiTCG]

Yup, I'm using the ink that came with it. You're having issues with the same one? Definitely set your printer to slow print, and load in 1 paper in the tray at a time if using the thick stuff

[@salehalhakeem4466]

Do those deck boxes fit double sleeved one piece decks? Are the sleeves comparable to dragon shields? How do they shuffle?

[@MabiTCG]

Dragon shields are always going to be better than bulk sleeves like I'm using here. They shuffle really well. Not sure about the double sleeve space, but the ones I recommend here are solely for mass use. Definitely use better end ones if you're worried about that, :D

[@GTCA-24]

Use AI to delete text from the og picture. sometimes it works.

[@MabiTCG]

I like that idea. Any recommendations of an AI to use?

[@oscarivanazazel5135]

Any recomendations, bro? Please.

[@bjornkonrad8007]

Hi, i got the same printer and my prints come out dreadfull. the colors are way off/ very bright and changing them in photoshop barely changes anything. can you give me some pointers on your printer settings?

[@MabiTCG]

What paper are you using?

[@bjornkonrad8007]

the glossy paper you linked in your description. Koala Heavyweight Photo Paper High Glossy

[@MabiTCG]

If everything's the same, the only thing I can think of is maybe the ink might be different if they don't look like mine in the video. Like maybe they packaged a different one

[@movses89]

Will this printer print on cardstock or 12 point matte?

[@MabiTCG]

Absolutely works for me. Just anything really thick you gotta use 1 at a time. Here's the info for this specific printer: files.support.epson.com/docid/cpd6/cpd60271/index.html?page=source%2Fspecifications%2Freferences%2Fet2800_l3260%2Fspex_paper_spc_et2800_l3260.html

[@MabiTCG]

It says up to to 24 lb but you can do more

[@movses89]

Thanks so much ​@@MabiTCG also, do you recommend I go up to the 4800 since it's the same price or does that not make a difference?

[@MabiTCG]

I wouldn't be able to comment on other printers as I've only used this one

[@movses89]

@MabiTCG last two questions Are magic tcg similar to the thickness you are printing on and is there a matte or non glossy option to your paper thickness?

[@thesuperPAD]

Amazing guide and I dropped a little sub sub :)

[@MabiTCG]

Awesome, thank you!

[@romeoroy100]

Whats the size of the card ?

[@MabiTCG]

I personally like running them at 825x1150

[@johnnyjohnnYT]

More printer that can be print at same price For india user any recommend printer? Price under Rs18000

[@MabiTCG]

Sorry I haven't tested other printers, :(

[@AlexTheDonhat]

Can you share your proxy images?

[@MabiTCG]

The One Piece topdecks site has everything you need

[@ericg.jonesii6741]

I'm not going to lie none of this makes sense lol I'm using all the same things you're using and none of it matches. i wish you had a step-by-step vid of how to proxy cards for Gimp beginners.

[@MabiTCG]

Hey! I'll see if I can make an updated / easier to follow guide soon
