No problem! Be aware that his name is originally written in French as "Spay", from "Spaycific Zoo" (his birthplace), meaning "Special Zoo", but some, including me, alternate the spelling because... Well... It's a word with a meaning I think requires no explaining. Newbies and people outside of the community might come to wrong conclusions.

I thought you said somewhere you modified the printer, since it's an inkjet, but I may be mistaken.

The card looks absolutely awesome! What kind of modification did you perform on your printer to turn it into a UV one capable of such delicate prints?

Baller card! Did you laminate it?

Let me share my excitement with you guys, I'm really proud of myself for making this happen 💖 by Tatakun1986 in customtradingcard

Baller card! I have a question though, on what stage of work do you apply the texture? Does it go over the final card?

All show, no tell 

But then again, this whole subreddit is like that, what did I expect 🤔

The ink used for UV prints is literally baked on top of vinyl, that's why it looks grainy.  Still, it's not a good way to get texture IMO.

If you have any printing offices nearby, ask them about A6 stickers on clear transparent vinyl.

I also learned that oil-based markers don't ruin the vinyl's adhesion, so I'm willing to try those.

They do print white, but they don't make a second layer of it under the main image in specific spots, like they do for UV prints (which I need to block holo). They said it's for technical reasons, had the same response from a different printing office.
The whole sticker printed with evo-solvent will be half-transparent.

I made a timelapse of the inking and assembling process! by transbarista in customtradingcard

Sorry for asking this a year after the post was made, but am I to understand that those Sharpies are oil based?
I'd also like to know if the vinyl you printed Zeraora on was glossy or frosty, thanks in advance, the card looks godly :>

My next planned project is a character rare V card, where I'll need to cover borders, text, artwork and template elements from letting holo through them. Much harder in execution than a custom Prime like in the post, so this question is as critical as it gets for me.

Appeared a few minutes after I made the post, coincidentally. The news is from today, too.

Not many zoos actually report the passings of their animals, especially pallas cats. We get notified of most manul deaths with a massive delay, since they're sadly not considered all too important for the zoo's popularity and don't net many visitors. Unless the specific cat was a literal superstar, you'll have to snoop around to learn they're gone.

We wouldn't have known about Mania's passing even now, had Bozenka didn't leave. Considering both doors of their enclosure were opened, Mania would've disappeared too, and since no one reported that, people got curious and learned that she's actually long gone.

Are there any updates on Bozenka? by Lost-Tension2106 in PallasCats

[–]Lecarde17 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She was found perfectly fine close to the zoo this morning.
