Hacking CompC's amiibo Cards!

[DocKlokMan]

While you are printing can you also keep an eye out for how much ink is being used. I know it won't be exact but I just know that photo paper sucks up a lot of ink so I would wonder how much the cards suck up.

Sure, I'm still on the setup cartridges which tend to go faster than normal but I'll try and get as good an estimate as I can.

Did anybody ever make all the cards in a credit card size? I got some PVC credit card sized NFC cards, but if I print out these ones the image gets all distorted!
Thanks!

snip. Nevermind. You're already in the other thread. I guess you meant make as print, not design.

I meant taking the cards compc made and edited them to fit the credit card size. But since posting I found this resource with cards that scale much closer to the credit card size.

I snipped my pointer to your thread because he had posted in your thread two hours before asking here. I gave up trying to make sense of it.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a template that will do 6 cards per page? basically just looking for a template with the blank spots that I can drop an image into if that makes sense?

Do you have access to Adobe Indesign or Microsoft Office Publisher?

Should have publisher, you got a template for it?

I found some open source software. Figured I would write a guide to use that software. That way everyone can use it. Will post it when I'm done

I made a guide to show people how to make a template for their cards using a free open source software called Scribus. See it here. I also uploaded a template I made that will work with the cards I made (the playing card size, not the credit card size one). Have fun.

Thanks will try and play around with this.

So you just save these, print and put on card?

Hey everyone loving this thread, Is there a location online that has all the CompC cards available for download? Like a dropbox link or google drive location?

@shane9b3 Do you think you could send me the files you used to get the custom Zelda poker cards printed. I'd like to print myself a deck of them to be able to bring around (amiibos don't travel well)
