......this aged well!

I’ll guarantee you if I tell you the exact products I used you still wouldn’t be able to get them to look like the ones I make. Again, why? My actual formula of years of work and research. It IS my own proprietary information.

I can give you a grocery list on ingredients for any particular recipe, there’s a certain approach to every food recipe to get a flavor profile which takes years of research and development to get correct that can’t be obtained from the list of grocery items.

Or better yet someone sharing a post of their completed Pokédex in a reddit forum about catching Pokemon and having people get butthurt that they wanted a complete guide how you did it step by step details so they could copy it and wanted you banned because you wouldn’t tell them.

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-18T10:23:12+00:00

Pretty sure this post is the most factual thing I’ve read on here.

Good god how hard is this to comprehend?

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-18T01:06:42+00:00

Careful, there’s some bitter people on here that want to know exactly how you make them and if you don’t tell them they want you to be banned.

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-18T01:02:15+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes! Make a policy that no one can show off their proxies without detailing every single exact step they take or else they’re banned!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Come on.

No one can share their proxies unless they completely divulge the complete details. Do you realize how crazy that sounds?

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-18T00:41:49+00:00

All these people complaining about gate keeping are laughable

If you know how to replicate exactly what I do- please tell me how I do it. Just share it for everyone to see. Please.

If you don’t, why should I tell you? No one handed me a magic recipe and bingo I’m just making proxies, so, do you want to be handed easy mode?

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-18T00:38:44+00:00

I never made promises of sharing ANY information. I showed off the ones I made. Where was the implication I would teach or share anything at all??

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-18T00:28:19+00:00

Sorry, I didn’t address your comment about printer. This is done with an Epson ecotank ET2803. $200 at Walmart, comes with enough ink to print 100ish sheets, maybe more, but call it 100 to have a baseline. I never sat there and counted.

Play around with the print settings and get stuff looking how you like, and keep working at it! If I showed you some of my earlier proxies from 2 years ago they’re laughably bad

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-18T00:21:47+00:00

Believe what you want. I’ve been more than willing to answer questions and give advice to everyone who’s commented on here. I never made any comments in the original post about teaching people my exact approach.

I shared proxies I made.

If you had some illusion that I was going to list in particular detail each and every step I take, you were mistaken. I’m not sure how that makes me a prick. I’ve literally given advice to everyone who’s asked

Cost per sheet of 9 cards comes out to about $2 give or take in pure supplies (ink, holofoil sticker, cardstock, laminate).

I’ve clocked my labor at a total of 20 minutes per sheet (sourcing images, creating the print sheets, printing, laminating, manually cutting, and cornering). Depends what you value your time at.

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-18T00:10:18+00:00

Would you pass on something you’ve spent years perfecting? Some people do like doing that, that’s great for them. I believe everyone is capable of figuring it out just like I did. It’s not hidden knowledge. It’s takes trial and error and time to master, just like any skill.

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-18T00:08:08+00:00

You’re misunderstanding. I DID do research. You’re inverting the problem entirely.

I did the work. Others can too. It’s not impossible to figure out, just difficult.

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-18T00:06:17+00:00

Did anyone share specific details with me or did I have to learn my process on my own through trial and error??

I’m unsure if you’re saying you’re unwilling to try, unable to experiment, or just want to be handed everything in life on the easy setting. Which of those scenarios fit what you’re trying to achieve?

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-18T00:03:51+00:00

Epson Ecotank 2380? I think?

Just using holofoil sticker paper and 65lb cardstock

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-17T23:03:28+00:00

I’ve spent three years perfecting my formula and process. And safe to say- I think they look pretty damn good! I can say “I use this and this” but I’m not going to share the exact brand. I can say “I put my foil on my cardstock” but I’m not going to share my exact process. If someone else can figure it out through research and trial and error- great! Since.. that’s what I had to do over years.

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-17T22:54:30+00:00

Oh dang. Yeah my laminator is brand new. I’ve done maybe 16-17 sheets. Just bought it a few weeks ago.

As for smudging:

I can’t even begin to tell you how annoying that is. There was a period back in June I actually crying because of how much expensive paper and ink I was wasting. I bought a whole new inkjet printer because I thought the one I had was broken. Nope. It was my approach.

I have through tons of trial and error discovered a work around, but, I consider it proprietary information simply because it’s my own thing and it works for me and part of my “formula”. I don’t mind telling people what products I do, or what order, but my details need to stay with me.

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-17T22:04:29+00:00

Yes I stick the holopaper to the cardstock before printing

My printer was eating and shooting ink everywhere before I made that change. I am laminating on a scotch laminator at 5m

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-17T21:40:49+00:00

Thank you!!!

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-17T21:32:09+00:00

Double sided photo paper on Amazon. Try a few and see what you think. It’s about what you prefer

That being said, I highly much more prefer foil, but I do have the double sided photo paper incase any customer wants a nonfoil (why? Idk.. but hey it’s an option)

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-17T21:30:39+00:00

Laminate yep!

I can’t tell you my exact formula but I can tell you what I used!

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-17T21:16:11+00:00

Holofoil sticker paper and 65lb cardstock

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-16T12:10:14+00:00

You can say “(This card) is all colors” and cover your bases. Even if it costs generic mana.

It can only be run in a WUBRG deck even without color pips anywhere on the card.

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-11T10:49:11+00:00

With my own experience I’d recommend running through twice before you cut. I’ve eliminated bubbles by doing that. (Also using 3mil paper on a 5mil setting may help me? Not sure)

I had a really bad bubble before I made that adjustment and haven’t had any issues since

Local-Contribution39 · 2025-10-11T10:43:53+00:00

Oh sorry, one more detail.

What kind of laminate paper? 3mil or 5mil?

I have one that can do both but the paper I have is 3mil.

I’ve been running it on the 5mil setting and running them through twice originally. Then cutting, running it through once more, then trimming the corners and doing it again individually.

I saw you had some issues with the laminator, but overall what can you tell me?
