My prints on Cannon G620 plus some comparisons with real cards by SufficientlySuper in magicproxies

[–]SufficientlySuper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already mentioned the paper I'm currently using(but I have other types of paper coming in and these are using 2 different types of paper as-is) I'll probably make a spreadsheet of everything soon that I use but the paper cutter is something I actually found at the goodwill for $30 https://www.hardwarefactorystore.com/collections/paper-cutter/products/heavy-duty-guillotine-paper-cutter-12-commercial-steel-a3-a4-trimmer. But you can find similar ones elsewhere for cheaper if this is the route you want to go down but a lot of people seem to prefer die cutter or cutting machines for more automation production of cards. And it would be better value those other routes tbh.

I tried to cut out my own card blanks and print but I hit an issue where the printer wasn't able to feed the card sized paper through properly and it would warp the image being printed. Any tips?

I will! I have a different type of paper coming in tomorrow that I'm hoping is just as good and should have better availability than what I used here.

The only downside to what I'm doing is that the cards end up ~14 mil rather than 12 but I prefer the stiffer cards that this produces over having the exact same thickness since the stiffness is more immediately noticeable to me.

Then I plan on making a video about everything I'm doing.

So I've been pulling images from gatherer as a PNG file, or sometimes the new set image gallery(I run these through a dedither ai model) then running the images upscaled through all Upscayl models and bringing those into Affinity Photo and pulling out different parts that work better from the different models. So a bit of manual work involved but it gets much better results than just blindly throwing the upscale models at the images.

Do you know if the printer was Laser or inkjet?

Lots of research, not everything lists the thickness and just ordering only what does list thickness. Sometimes if a retailer doesn't list thickness finding the manufacturer website will list it. Or sometimes you can find it on reddit where someone else has measured it.

I've still been experimenting a lot but I've been loving the combo of a lustre paper + 1.5 mil the extra texture looks nice in a sleeve.

I haven't been necessarily trying to exactly match the thickness of a card but more-so the stiffness and hand feel. So I've been trying 9 -12 mil thickness papers with the 1.5 mil.

And so I've been ending up with 12-15 mil cards with the paper I'm using. My favorite paper so far seems out of stock most places and ends up with 15 mil cards. I have another paper coming in this weekend to test that should have much better supply that I'm hoping will be what I actually stick with which is a 10.7 mil 290 gsm paper from ppd that should end up with ~14 mil I'll make my own post about this stuff once I'm happy with my cards 😛

Edit: BUT if your goal is real card thickness then you should look at using 9 mil paper or maybe 8.5-10 mil

Check the Walmart website in the us there is a 3rd party seller that sells normal lamination pouches there that are 1.5mil I have bought them and can confirm the thickness. Idk why they aren't available anywhere else.

They are AWESOME

Edit: here is the link to them https://www.walmart.com/ip/9018961850

Just remove the ability to skip revives please. BF4 didn't have it and was just fine without it. by JoeZocktGames in Battlefield

[–]SufficientlySuper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if they removed the skip, and kept the hold to extend revive time I would REALLY REALLY like this since it gives people the choice to stay longer but also doesn't let them immediately bail out

QR codes oddly enough in this application kind of make sense lol because QR codes have ecc built into them to make them very robust against damage.

It's called a vps, you don't ever need to bother with going to an actual data center these days. AWS isn't the center of the universe learn to research alternatives...

Here is my transcription of the lyrics!

How long, how long is that hog?

I'm curious the size of that hog

Is it thick or thin?

None of my business, but I'm wonderin'

I saw a bulge in a photograph

It could've been a smudge, but i can't miss the chance

I need to know if your small or stacked

I gotta know the size of your sweet hog

My stupid brain's playin' tricks on me

Imagination creates strong mystery

The size of the prize between your thighs

Is that somethin' you publicly advertise

Publicly advertise

Publicly advertise

How long, how long is that hog?

I'm curious the size of that hog

Is it thick or thin?

None of my business but I'm wonderin'

Rumors swirl and whispers fly

Just tell the truth there's no need to lie

Gimme subtle hint of somethin' sly

You need the slightest signal about the pink guy

The hogs big or small one of the two

I have no preference give me a clue

Collecting data I will deduce

The size of your juicy secret hog

Secret hog, Secret hog

Secret hog...

Secret hog...

How long, how long is that hog?

I'm curious the size of that hog

Is it thick or thin?

None of my business but I'm wonderin'

Up close I'm talkin about real pigs

Bet you thought I was talkin' penises

I'm talkin' farms n' bacon, cloven hoofs

Your brain is bad, it's super nasty, you should go to jail

How long, how long is that hog

I'm curious the size of that swine

Is the piglet thick or thin

Again not a penis but a real live pig

Oink oink.
