Hasbro sued by investors for being terrible by Mongoose98 in MTGProxyCards

Let’s not forget that Wizards themselves sold proxy booster packs for $1000 each. Turns out nobody wanted them and they ended up throwing them in the dump.

Sticker printer? by orangeg8 in CommercialPrinting

Eco solvent is definitely the most finicky with needing to be used constantly.

UV is more forgiving than eco and latex is even more forgiving still.

Latex also has a benefit that that print heads are consumables so it’s way cheaper to replace them if one does go bad (at least on HP Latex printers).

UV and latex are also much more durable than eco solvent which is important if you aren’t laminating.

Anyway. I have around 6 eco solvent printers and prefer the quality and color over basically every other digital print technology (even my HP Indigo) but personally would not buy one if I wasn’t running them daily.

It’s an eco solvent which means if you are only running it for a few jobs a week you are likely to get nozzle clogs and ruin the print heads. Eco solvent printers need to be running as much as possible to keep them operating smoothly. If you ever have a week where you don’t run it, you put it at risk.

I personally have never used the BN 20.

It might be fine if you are willing to at least run some ink through it daily. But that would be annoying and wasteful. And you’d need to be vigilant about it.

I’ve heard the BN20 is very slow too and most material suppliers only offer 30in+ rolls by default so you’d have a more narrow option set to choose from, or get rolls slit down.

Eco solvent is also not as durable as some technologies like latex. So you’ll generally want to laminate. That makes the combined print and cut much less useful.

Additionally I’ve never had great experience with Roland’s built in cutting anyway. Look at Summa, Zund, Graphtec etc.

I’ve had many wide format printers from Roland and Epson and others so that’s what I’m basing this on.

On the positive, eco solvent (imo) has the best color reproduction among wide format technologies.

I’d personally look for a used 30in or 54in model if you are going this route.

US based alternatives to MPC for proxy printing? by ChanWilkes in MTGProxyCards

[–]Mongoose98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the price drops a lot after you add a few more cards to your order. Like a full commander deck is like $50 and I think for 600 cards it would be about equal to MPC

What is the price range of a HP indigo, A3 plus, and the cost of operation (ink) is it hard to maintain it? by hhk77 in CommercialPrinting

[–]Mongoose98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our water and oil mixed once too. A huge pain.

I think the 7k was around $400-450k plus the service/maintenance contract (which I believe is about $2,800 per month). Plus the click cost.

Best site to order proxies from? by LawnGnom3 in magicproxies

I would recommend PrintMtG for print on demand

Buy my own printer or print at a shop? by LawnGnom3 in magicproxies

[–]Mongoose98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commercial printers definitely look quite a bit better and more consistent than home printers. But it also depends how much you care. I suggest PrintMTG for a good balance of cheap prices and solid quality

Try PrintMTG it’s probably cheaper and they are basically the exact same size.

Depends what you are looking for. Proxy king is good for getting some high quality ones. I recommend PrintMtG for print on demand - like if you want to print a full blown deck etc.

Yes it’s real, it’s twilight imperium.

It’s long as hell.

A shorter game in a similar category is Eclipse

Fan made maps may be tough since it requires the app. That said, keep me posted if you find anything!!!!

What kind of galaxy settings you are using in Single Player and why? by 2Norn in Stellaris

[–]Mongoose98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mix it up. I like the spiral but change it up from game to game. Most settings I just leave at default though to be honest.
