I had this whole process down before I found this video minus the printing onto already foiled paper( I thought about it but was skeptical if it would work) but I couldn’t figure out why my ink was smudging and scraping off super easily even after 48 hours of dry time. The print settings in this video just changed my life thank you. Simply switching your print paper negates every problem I had

Can you make a video where you show the process of sizing and creating the sheet you are going to print for proxies

Excellent video, this is a great way to start making foil proxies without needing to invest too much time or money into materials. The only downside is the overall glossy nature of holo sticker paper, which can make the cards look "plastic". One solution I've found is to use a VERY SMALL amount of Krylon clear matte finish, which not only protects the ink layer but helps reduce the glossy shine without sacrificing the shimmer of the foil layer.

pro tip if you want to save paper: print 3x3 per page instead of 2x4

This is amazing. I like to make foil tokens, now, thanks to this video, I don't have to mess with Acetone anymore. Thank you for the video!

What specific printer do you recommend for both proxies and normal printing of documents

[midnightowl]

If you don't want to waste a card and aren't worried about having an mtg back, you can just laminate the sheet before you cut it

Is there any other way to do it so they don't look glossy? I don't know if there is a matte transparent paper

[josemartinelle]

Dude, do you have some king of configuration (bright, constrast, exposition, CMYK or RGB) to print fidelity cards like original?
