[yeahthatsme]

ok, heres the deal, whenever i try to print a run of cards they dont line up right and when i cut them out parts get hacked off!!!! its really frustrating and i cant figure it out.

[Jonno06]

why dont you cut out the cards each one at a time?

[FalconGuy016]

cards?

[The Frymarker]

what program are you using?

[yeahthatsme]

i'm using word becuase its really all i have. i'll look into other programs.


as for what cards, the AO trading cards, i am printing them and will send them out when i get this problem fixed and riotz gets the rest finished.

[The Frymarker]

I have microsoft publisher and Illustrator and some other adobe printing software if you want it.

[yeahthatsme]

that would be great, but i dunno how you would get them to me..

i may have found a solution though. i just made them in 2 parts and i am using an elasticy glue to bond them together.it seems to be working well.

[yeahthatsme]

anybody else have some advic/help?

[sneakyhacker420]

you should have a company start making good glossy cardboard ones, now that would be a seller :)

have tom buy a bunch in bulk and sell them on the AGD online store!! :D

[yeahthatsme]

nah, i want to make them myself. i think i got a good system going though.thanks for the help guys.

[sneakyhacker420]

sounds cool... too bad my dad sold his old cutter/printer thingy :( , it was pretty cool... just old, and if i didnt have a cheap POS Epson printer, i would help out in making them

[yeahthatsme]

i think i got it covered but thanks alot man.

Tell me more about your setup (Computer, Printer, Printing Materials, etc.) And maybe I can put together a SHEET of the cards. So let's say there are 9 cards per sheet. Then all you have to do is cut up the sheet.

Is it Glossy paper? What kind of weight?

Are you printing on both the front and back. Or are you gluing them together? If I make these "sheets" it would probally make it easier to do front/back printing.

[yeahthatsme]

i'm running a dell and my printer is a hp ofice jet. i am printing on normal paper and glueing the front and back together(this works very well) i tried to print the front and back lined up but the for whatever reason it wouldnt line up right. so i adopted this new method. i can fit four on a sheet using microsoft word.

Funny, I was in wally world yesterday and was thinking of doing the same thing. They have a heavy, one sided glossy cardboard type sheet; I dont know how well the ink will hold on it though. What I would do is print it on that, then laminate them. I have a decent preinter...I can actually print the cards on both sides of the sheet. Good luck, let us know how they come out!

personally, I would like to see the cards be the plastic type, like the PanAm ID cards. Now that would be kewl!
