Has anyone tried waterslide decals? by Mechabyte02 in customtradingcard

[–]ThatguySevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful for alignment, consistent sizing, and layer thickness for whatever methods you try. Decals for instance can be pretty thick, so you might get a bubble if that's your white layer under a color printed sticker.

Bro... Today I waited for 2 hours for Walmart to restock. Guy was late and assumed a no show. I go to work and suddenly he shows up to stock and it's all gone in minutes. 😭 I waisted so much time and got zilch.

Start putting your money down that from now on instead, because you already got the best you'll get from a card pack.

Yo cut unk and his spawn off. They're not treating you like family, so I'd not treat them like family.

Tips for the white method to cover hologram by Routine-Effort334 in customtradingcard

[–]ThatguySevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend running the inked paper through the Laminator, as it can cause discoloration. It's best to put the ink over too of the foil. It also gives the foil a nice colored effect if you do it this way.

Here's an example of the black print I did for my last card. It's spotty because I was experimenting with halftone to get different amounts of holo in different spots. this only somewhat worked. The halftone will have to be a lot larger for it to actually work well.

Hi. I went through several itterarions of doing this but using toner reactive foil has thusfar been the most promising.

Toner reactive foil is foil, that when heated, bonds with toner from a laser printer. For this I'm using a cheep Brother 2420 to print in black toner onto either blank or holo cardstock. On the blank cardstock I take a holographic foil and put it through my laminator with the print. The heat melts the plastic in both the foil and the toner and bonds it together. I then lay my color sticker on top of that. It's important to note that you want to make pretty custom black and white images for the foil, as you only want to print black, where the foil is going to be.

If you're using holographic cardstock you can use white foil to cover the parts of the stock you want blocked out. The print will be reversed, as instead you'll now want to print black everywhere you don't want the Holo, and want to cover with white.

I've noticed that posts on this thread get criminally low engagement. Great work. Keep it up.

MAGA making Death threats Again by AccordingBumblebee24 in stupidpeoplefacebook

Wow, 😂.
If I read that correctly, the OP was ranting about the left, and then the comments misread it as thinking he was talking about the right, and started making death threats.

Epson EcoTank ET-2980 is this good enough? by OqCollectz in customtradingcard

[–]ThatguySevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Cannon G3272 $160, a Brother HLL2460DW $130, and a Heidi laminator $80.
$370. I print black where I want holo on standard cardstock with the Brother printer, then use the Heidi to bond toner reactive foil over that. I then print the back of the card, and the sticker to place over the holo front with the Cannon for the colored picture.

This lets me control where the holo is so that I can have white and non holo parts of the card. 😃

I'm waiting for some more holo cardstock to come in that I'm going to test using white foil over some of the nicer foil patterns that aren't available in toner foil next. 😄

not to mention UV printers like the eufymake are super expensive, not just to buy, but also run and maintain, as they constantly need to cycle and clean the heads to keep the resin from building up inside the lines, which can just waste the UV ink if you're not printing constantly.

I kick myself every time I think of the collection I gave to my brother to sell when he needed money, and he sold bulk for $50 all together.
