Card backs with bleed room

Postby phoenixcinder » March 18th, 2018, 4:21 am

I have noticed the high res scans of the cards on this site will not work well for getting professionally printed as they do not have any wiggle room around the edges for trimming. I am currently revamping the backs of the more common cards. Treasure, artifacts, monsters etc, but with bleed room. So instead of the normal 2.25x3.5in dimensions the cards are made in. These copies are made at 2.5x3.75in. The artwork of the back of the card is untouched and not stretched in any way. I am not sure if anyone would have any interest in card backs with bleed. If so let me know.

Here is an example of what I mean. The image on the right is the original card scan. On the left is the same image but after I created a bleed area for cutting.

Also if anyone knows the exact paper type, weight, gloss the originals were made in That would be super helpful for me. Thx

Will try to find a way to upload these . Right now I am struggling with finding the monster icons for the monster cards. Was told I want to install HeroScribe_1.0pre1_Installer. But it says I require some java runtime environment 1.4.2. I have tried 3 variations and nothing is happening. So hitting a wall right now

You only need the zip, not the installer. You just need the files, not to run the application... although the application is quite cool. And if you have JRE, you should be able to run the application without the installer. I use linux not windows, so maybe not?

Right underneath the installer is a link for zip package.

Big delay in the backs with bleed. Need to redo over half of them. Got my base set in the mail yesterday realized the card backs on the design page here are saturated in comparison to the cards in the box. Lucked out and the cards were in mint condition, so I set up my equipment and shot some raw photos with a prime lens of the 8 card backs from the base game. This is a side by side of the air spell back, the one I shot on the right. Once these cards are primed if any of the admins want them to update the design page gimme a shout.
