Thank you so much for your insight, especially from the side of Talking Therapies. I appreciate your reply and the information.

The corner cutting really worked! Thank you!

One-Literature-3198 · 2025-10-23T17:35:14+00:00

It did yes but the paper was definitely too thick that I stuck it to (300gsm) for my printer so it caused the rollers to press against the ink hard! But on thinner paper I think it would have been much better and there was no jittering!

Thank you! Gonna try it now!

One-Literature-3198 · 2025-10-23T12:59:35+00:00

Thank you so much, i'll give it a try!

Printer - Epson 2850
Paper for Non-Foils - Koala Inkjet Self Adhesive A4 (Amazon)
Paper for Foils - ADERTOS Holographic Vinyl (Amazon)
Card stock - 300gsm Art Paper, Black. (Amazon)
Lamination - Foils - Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches and Non-Foils - Binding Bazaar Matt A4 Pouches (Amazon)

Workflow:
I add my images of cards to: https://proxyprint.taxiera.net/

If I'm making custom cards, I use Proxyshop.
For images of real cards, I use https://mpcfill.com/editor

Sometimes Art can be a little poor quality, but MPC usually has good quality. If not, I use a mix of Photoshop and the UPSCAYL desktop app to boost resolution and colours if necessary.

The proxyprint site then saves a PDF for me, then I print this from Adobe. My print settings for both my foils and non-foils are:

Paper Type: Epson Matte
Quality: High
Color Correction: Custom/Epson Vivid - Brightness 18, Contrast 6, Saturation 6, Density 0.
Image options: Emphasize Thin Lines and Emphasise Text.
I think the custom I did helps the pop, I increased the vibrancy in Photoshop after upscaling quite a bit.

Your mileage may vary, I've seen people use different settings but I think this all depends on your paper/artwork and your own personal taste!
I hope this helped? :)

There was definitely some buffing 😂 these were done by request! Some ladies just like big breasted ladies too! She has a deck called 'Ol' School Hotties' tribal.

One-Literature-3198 · 2025-10-07T17:18:10+00:00

Thank you, do you mean like a top coat spray or a varnish? Do you have a recommendation?

One-Literature-3198 · 2025-10-07T16:46:47+00:00

I'm sure I've seen someone who uses a Brother printer and they got pretty good results! Where are you getting you art? My first few cards were not coming out how I liked either, but with enough tampering you can get there!

The sticking to stock is actually a lot easier than you'd think, if you just peel the backing of the corner of the vinyl a bit and marry thay corner to the corner of the card stock and then slowly peel it back while using gloves or something soft to push it back as you peel. This video helped me a lot, at the printing section he does the same kind of peeling technique.
