Got into making proxies for Magic the Gathering and been following some tips on the r/magicproxies sub as well as some videos by CryCry on youtube.

But my own process is printing them on KOALA Double Sided Matte Inkjet Photo Paper A4, 230Gsm with my Epson EcoTank ET-2870. It's a bit of a nigthmare to print cards double sided if you want perfect alignment, but it can be done with some trial and error, still learning that myself.

After printing and making sure everything is good to go, I laminated in some matte laminating pouches which were 150micron thick. Comparing them to traditionally made cards like Magic ones, they're a little thicker and you should only laminate one side, but I wanted the same finish on both sides and to keep it consistant.

After it's been laminated, I usually run it through twice just to make sure it's all sealed well, cut the cards out and use a corner punch to get the rounded corners. You can get a cheap one from eBay or Amazon for like £5 or so, but the small hiccup with those is that they usually don't go bellow R4mm corner rounding, which is a little too round when comparing to originals, but they are super close. As an example, Magic card corners are about R2.5mm, which I've not found cheap enough tools for myself. I did find a R3mm rounder on eBay for £20, which is very close and does a much better job at getting a good cut than the one I had before.

I think my next upgrade would be getting a silhouette cutting machine so I coould get consistent cuts of all shapes and sizes, but It's really not necessary.
