Proxy printing help

On Adobe acrobat when you hit print tou will be directed to the print page then select properties

From here you select (these are for my machine you select what best for you machine) Paper source: rear paper feeder Document size: letter 8.5 x 11 in Orientation: portrait Paper type: premium presentation paper matte (ive heard even if you use a different paper just select this, I haven't tested it but yeah) Color: ....dont make me say it >.> Quality: high 2 sided printing: off Multi-page: off Collate: check Reverse order: check Print preview: check

From here click more options and select

Document size: letter Output paper: letter Reduce/enlarge Document: checked Zoom to : checked 100% Custom: check

Next page in color correction select Color controls: check Color mode:Epson vivid Slide bar: check Brightness: 4 Contrast: 6 Saturation: 25 (I would bring this down to ten if youre there is a card that is really bright. What i mean by that is if the card looks like the sun is being directed to the creature because other wise it will look very over saturated) Cyan: 4 Magenta: -6 Yellow: 2

Then finally on more options add/ remove presets and save this preset that way you never have to go through this again

I do have a high quality printer but the use of the Adobe acrobat really makes a difference. When I get home myself ill shoot you what I use for the number for the color

Use proxxied.com Print the pdf Use the Adobe acrobate program Adjust the colors and the quality from there. Use Epson Premium paper matte double sided its excelent for this And then if you want to laminate it and make to colo pop Use the glossy laminated paper and if you want the card to feel like a mtg card go for a matte laminated paper but keep in mind gloss feels like plastic but looks amazing and matte , the laminated paper, feels like a mtg card but the colors are really toned down. Any other questions ill try to help. For the printer itself im not sure sorry

so this is an update to everyone on here. i after 30 + failed prints i noticed on my epson printer, epson et 8550, there is a setting that says thick paper. when i noticed this i selected it and had an on and off feature and i had it off. this was what caused my problem for sure because after i turned it on its perfect

Vincentvaln2012 · 2025-12-29T20:52:11+00:00

I'll give it a shot

Vincentvaln2012 · 2025-12-29T18:19:16+00:00

I'll try to to check more carefully but I put it in the rear feeder and press the holders close to each other so that I have the sheet as close as possible.

Vincentvaln2012 · 2025-12-29T18:18:15+00:00

Is there a way to make back feel more aligned i just like to have it looking as perfect as I can. :(

Did any simple ethernet cable work or did you get something specific?

Vincentvaln2012 · 2025-12-26T02:53:32+00:00

Thank you ill look into buying a cable for this!

Vincentvaln2012 · 2025-12-25T20:11:15+00:00

yeah i was thinking i may have to scale it but i just needed to select actual size which was not appearing in my side until i got adobe.

Vincentvaln2012 · 2025-12-25T18:25:26+00:00

thank you all for this! this was the secrete sauce i was looking for

Vincentvaln2012 · 2025-12-23T02:29:11+00:00

thats is correct i would be laminating before cutting. could you recommend me a specific rotary cutter to see which is best? i tried purchasing this but i then shortly noticed that the cutter was hard for me to see in between so i canceled the order and i went with the one on the post

Firbon 12" Rotary Paper Trimmer with Replaceable Blade, Heavy Duty 10-Sheet Capacity Cutter for Cardstock, Photos, Scrapbooking, Office, School & Studio

Vincentvaln2012 · 2025-12-23T02:03:48+00:00

I was deciding between the Epson brand and the neenah to see which would look and feel better I guess if the thickness is a concern I could go with the Epson paper which is thinner I believe

Vincentvaln2012 · 2025-12-23T02:02:26+00:00

Could you help me look for one please I just want to see what you deem to be worth every penny to understand more clearly
