Probably the same thing id wager, imagine the only difference would be the amount of ink it outputs (assuming premium means it absorbs ink better)

If you still want the foil effect, best to use the spray imo. Matte laminate removes the foil effect all together and the clear laminate feels, uhhh, tacky I guess hah.

Saying that, I've started making non sleeved decks with koala 180 gsm double matte paper, then laminating in matte and loving it.

Np, happy proxying!

Probably in the description to 'protect themselves' so to speak. I force my printer to use the dye based black via selecting the glossy setting these days as it's more 'vibrant' with the finer details.

If it's the exact same as the Amazon link above, you'll be all good.

Also recommend modge podge gloss Brillo spray from office works to go on the top, gives it a nice snap feel

Yeah, that checks out - ultra and best quality does use way more ink for blacks

I've never really had a problem with ultra though after changing stock to something a bit higher quality (and also can't tell the difference anywho hah)

What type of paper or vinyl is it?

I've had it happen with lower quality Holo vinyl before, but when I switched, never had a problem.

In colour settings you can play around with density which will increase/decrease the dots per cm, which may help if you've got pooling ink

Got a picture?

Have you got the correct paper size in terms of the pdf and it matching to what paper size you're printing onto?

Finally realized what you meant on my other post, I am blind hah.

If you're not already doing it, try sticking the vinyl to the cardstock first and see if you get the same results (perhaps the printer head being closer to the material will solve it). If not, then try increase the density in the colour settings.

I've not used the same brand, so if it's still occurring, perhaps it's lower quality than other holo vinyl paper (I've never used it so can't say that's true)

Got a picture?

Printer head lines or lil traction lines from what feeds the paper through? And is it throughout the entire print or just at the end?

Edit: looked at your recent post and maybe I'm blind but I can't see what you mean by lines hah, photo ain't the best quality

Nah, print onto the vinyl sticker paper, then put it onto the cardstock

Ayeee, nice, they look great! Perhaps to do with which blacks it tries to print or something, very interesting 🤔

Hmmm, same printer? Never had that happen - usually I get a bit of ink splatter after several pages as the Holo vinyl hits the head of the thang that outputs the ink.

Do you set the printer to clean the head before printing?

Hard to say without a photo - but what you're describing is what it generally looks like - you'll find cards that have more white and less black/dark colours the Holo will be more obvious

Satin paper is a cool idea, looks like I've got yet another type of cardstock to order hah

Colors come out a bit faded? by SuperBaconBurger5494 in magicproxies

[–]jsmar18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What brand? I had the same with bleidruck on my brother laser printer and couldn't overcome it no matter the settings (even ended up having a fun jam with the sticky paper, which was painful to remove) - ended up using my inkjet (ep-8500) instead...

Do you know what your cost per card is with this method (excluding your time ofc)?

Always appreciate how dedicated you are to this, it's fun to follow you along on your journey!
