I know but it requires a LOT of work. So, if someone is so good with illustrator and wants to start to create the Illustrator image for every card, the final result will be PERFETC.
For the Smash cards i want to gloss the main character, the name, number and symbol.
For the Mario Party cards, I want to gloss the background name, the name on the top and the character.
Etc etc...
I will start from the Smash Brosh Cards.
I work with Illustrator almost daily. What exactly is needed? Just the paths where it would be glossy?

@squee666 Do you have Photoshop? If so, use this template, and simply drag and drop my .PNG images into the .PSD. Photoshop will adjust them to print correctly. You can put 4 horizontally and 3 vertically. Here's another .PSD with some images prefilled so you can see what I mean. They should print at 20cm x 24,6cm.

The reason for the white borders I explained before: If you print one sheet of paper with 12 identical 'back' images (which are 50x82mm), and another sheet with 12 different 'front' images (which are 48x80mm + 2mm white border) you can simply stick those two pages together, and if you cut along the white lines at the front your cards will look beautifully aligned front and back.

This is perfect if anything photoshop has better colour handling to over-ride the printers own setting (which may fox my yellows) have to tweak now T_T .

My plan is now after fixing the my yellows i will start making pre-built template.

as in
all yellows/0range/browns template
red/pinks/dark orange
blue/greens
Mixed colors


It should speed up printing when its mainly focusing on 1 colour

Ok, here I am. I received the cards and are wonderful :)

I used printerstudio.com and the cards have pretty good quality :)

I will upload some photos and the zipped files with all the Smash Cards (for the moment) with the bleeding area that printerstudio asks. :)

@KingOfTaurus

First I wanted to thank you for gathering all these items and organizing everything! B) I also want to thank you for the template its great! III) I have been using your template for open office (new to me) and I have been trying to set it up so that if you flip the page over and print on the back it will line up perfectly.

I have tried multiple times and failed. I also re-sized the picture inserts to 3.5X2.5. I would like playing card size and I have double sided photo paper so I would like to take advantage of that!

Is there a way in open office to move the pictures precisely using arrow keys and not drag them with the mouse? When I used the arrow keys it seems to make them "jump" To far up and down.

I am also only printing Amiibos that I have so the backs and card assortments will all be different :).

Here is the file that I made from you template: http://bit.ly/1VkeWpT

Any tips are appreciated!

@KingOfTaurus Turns out your Templates are too big for Laminating Pouches as the default pouches are the same dimensions, perfect for printing directly to cards like you said

Yes you are able to move the image 1 pixel at a time by pressing ALT (for windows) and the arrow keys. Good luck on your quest to double sided printing, I have found that in two different printers that I have used, the paper does not always feed into it perfectly straight (for the accuracy that I would personally want) If you have a bleeding area on the card that compensates for that, then there should not be any problems.

Really? those pouches must be really tiny then. I figured an ID sized print would easily fit into any laminating pouch.

His cards are from a printing service and they are the size of playing cards. My cards are ID sized and are NTAG215 and printed directly to them. His cards also need an additional NTAG215 device attached to them.

@KingOfTaurus they are the exact same dimensions as the Printout so i need to reduce the template slightly. they not that much smaller they just exact size of template which doesnt work

Really love how they look. I'm looking into ordering square NTAG215s stickers with the amiibo square printed on them, so that I can then order a deck of plastic cards and just stick the stickers right in those spots.

Does Pokken recognize the Mewtwo amiibo as the Shadow Mewtwo card and vice-versa for other games? Or are they different, have you tried?

i forgot to reply. the 2 amiibo are different. in pokken tournament the mewtwo amiibo is recognized as a standard amiibo and unlocks stuff. the shadow mewtwo amiibo card is the only that unlocks shadow mewtwo :)

I tried to ask how much the chips cost with an image print on them (on alibaba.com) but it was too expensive...
