To size your proxies correctly you will need a template to make it much easier.
You'll need to download Sribus for this one. Don't worry its free.
Download Scribus
I use a PC with windows 8. I do not know if this works well on Mac.
Here is the Card Template. It wont show up on the Google Drive previewer but it will download what you need.
Here's what you should have after opening the file.
Now all you have to do is just drag your high resolution Magic: The Gathering Cards like this.
Then just fill up the page with everything you need and they should be ready to be perfect prints.
The pictures may be blurry on the screen. Sometimes that's OK. Just as long as the images are over ~400 x ~600 they should print out fine.
Oh my god, I'm so thankful with you, you have just make my work so much easier. I had to make 52 pages of proxies and without your template I think I couldn't make it on time.

Deletehaha, just after saying this I found a way. export to PDF first, then print.
DeleteMine a printing too small. Any ideas? Is it because I am using this template on scribus 1.4.6?
ReplyDeleteIm no expert, but I believe you just made an excellent point. Microleaves You certainly fully understand what youre speaking about, and I can truly get behind that.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this! Trying to print proxies of the joke decks to get my parents to play with me. I thought goofy cards would help ease them in to playing and they seem interested. I'm completely new to this scribus thing, how do i format it to print these cards on an 11 x 17 page?
ReplyDeleteGlad to help. To be completely honest. I don't know. I can fiddle around with it but I don't have that kind of printer so I never learned how.
DeleteHey there. Im not very good with Scribbus and was looking for someone to edit this template for me. I wanted it to fit 3 x Oversized cards per page. My 14 year old son is slowly losing his eyesight and loves to play. I have been saving oversized cards for a year now and was thinking of making a deck. if you can help me out shoot me an email. my address is reg.b.bennett@hotmail.com
DeleteExcellent website you have here, so much cool information!..

I had to tweak this ever so slightly as it was printing just too big, but thank you for the initial template as it was a great help!

DeleteHow did you adjust it to make it bigger, it is not the right size a little smaller than a real card
