So now that you're done with making
your cards, you'd like to print them, is that correct? Well,
here's how to print them effectively.
First off, the cards you make are
twice the size of a real card (5 inches by 7 inches).
This means you'll have to shrink the card down by 50% to
make them the size of real cards.
Important Note!: Don't
shrink them in the graphic program you're using! That'll
just blur your cards up. Instead, go into something like
AppleWorks or Microsoft Works, shrink them there, and then
print them out from that program. Shrinking them in
AppleWorks or MS Works will make them card size, while still
retaining their detail (so they won't be so blurry).
If you want to print them on some
really good paper rather than on the regular paper, I
suggest you get some high quality paper for your printer.
For my ink jet printer, I use "EPSON Photo Quality Ink
Jet Paper". It's about $20 for 100 sheets. Quite
expensive, but if you're into printing cards (like I know I
am), then it's worth it. But if you're just a regular user,
then regular paper is good enough.
Also for you more advanced people,
the bigger you make the card, the more detail you'll be able
to capture when you print out your cards. If you increase
the size of your card yo like 800% or 1000% in Adobe
Photoshop, turn off the text anti-aliasing, and then printed
them out in Apple/MS Works, then more detail with be kept in
the card. Keen, huh?
Well, that just around rounds up the
Make Your Own Pokémon Card section. I hope
I've helped you make some high quality fake cards! If you
