I made all of these cards at a slightly bigger playing card size. I linked it in the OP but here is the link again to the other thread if you missed it. Those might work better for you.

i tried both sizes. i really like how your cards look, it's just that the words end up being smaller than i like and i also want to position it at the bottom of the card. i don't really know how to edit the name/logo on your card without ruining it. i only know how to paste an image over another image. sorry if it sounds like i'm whining too much about it. just wanted to know if you had the botw character cards without the name/logo. the background image alone without the name/logo and without the character would work as well. if not, i'll try it with a different background. though it definitely won't look as good as yours.
I've never used a self service machine. Don't know what they have for options. PDF is pretty standard though. I wouldn't be surprised if it did accept it. You can always just take the png files too though. I would assume the machine would have a way to print more then one picture per page.
It only takes 12x8 photo paper size, about 20cm by 30cm so with the current pngs you uploaded was able to print 8 on 1 sheet. cost £2 so thats about just $2.5 usd. Slightly on the bright side so cant see some of lower half in much detail for the 30th anniversay cards. Maybe can fit 10 if play around the size and have all pics next to each other. Not sure if matt quality would be better.
I dont know why it got printed like that. Maybe the machine automatically brightens pictures.... odd. I hope you were able to get your money back, or at least a discount.... well, unless you are happy with it.
I currently have no plans to post my photoshop file or background images, or to create specific requests for certain cards. Unless I would personally want the requested card. I hope everyone will understand.
Below is a link to an archive of my business card sized versions of these. There's 21 images total, the 17 cards and 4 backs in the archive. I printed these on Avery Business Card sheets (10 cards per sheet) and then got some business card sized laminating pouches. Total cost was around 35.00, that's for 20 NTAGs, the Business Cards (10.00), and the Laminate pouches (5.00). I printed the backs on separate cards so the NTAG would be hidden between a front card and a back card. I've also included an imgur link to the SSB cards I completed.

Thanks to Random for creating the original and credit card sized images which made this possible.

Looks good. You can barely tell they are stretched without looking at the originals. Although, I noticed you cropped off the bleed sections. Why not use the bleed sections so that you don't have to streatch it as much, no? It would be one thing if you wanted to keep the bleed and use it as a bleed but if you don't need it, why not use it in the final image. If the crop marks are visible just enlarge the whole thing by 1% or something to get rid of them.
Anyway. Just my suggestion.
Edit: here. I tried it with one. I cropped off 0.5 cm from the left and right. (1cm from the width total). You can just make out the crop lines still in the corners but if you enlarged the image by 2 or three pixels you could get rid of them easy. And they you wouldn't have to squish the width as much to fit on the business card.

The Business card sheets are more or less pre-cut, you just bend them at the seams and they break apart, and there's no gap between one business card and another. If you had to cut them by hand then yes I agree, but using the template all the images are right on top of each other which is what caused the alignment issues. If the image placement was off by even one pixel I'd end up with part of image 1 in business card #2. It took a bit of tinkering to get the alignment perfect but once I figured out the offset they all came out perfect.

Yes I understand that. What I am saying is because you didn't need the bleed you could use it instead of getting rid of it. For example, instead of stretching the image you could have just cropped them and then scaled them down a little. Here is an example of what I mean:
this is the credit card sized image with the darker sections showing where you would crop.
if you cropped out that section of the cards you would have a perfect aspect ratio for the business cards. It ends up being a little big still but at least then you can uniformly scale down the image to fit the proper size of the business card without warping. It does leave a little more head room then you might like though.
So you would then end up with this:
Im only gonna make the one for you though. If you like it stretched you can keep the ones you have (like I said its barely noticeable) but if you want it not stretched you can crop them this way to make them fit perfectly.

Better? Yeah, if it wasn't free because they are centralizing security, I wouldn't bother.

Much better thanks.
I wish I could find a place that would just let me use their printer.... :/ cant find anywhere local.
