    couple questions about Customs

    Hey everyone,
    I have been designing a few customs of my own and had a few questions.

    First, what size is recommended if I plan on printing out the cards for TTM? Should I make them bigger and resize before printing or make them 2.5 x 3.5 so the cards are the exact demensions?

    Second, what is a good place to go to in order to print them out? My computer wont handle the card stick.

    Any advice?

    All help is appreciated,
    -BAM

    I go to Office Depot and get my cards printed on a xerox 100lb card stock. Make sure when they print your cards that NONE is selected when it says scaling otherwise the cards will shrink a tiny bit.

    When I make my customs I design them at 960 pixels by 1290 pixels and 300 resolution. Then I re size them when I print. As for printing you could print yourself or get them printed at Walgreen's on photo paper then glue them on thicker card stock. You could also call around your town to photo printing shops. I was able to get some printed front and back for around 50 cents a card.

    I make them exactly 2.5 x 3.5, but in 300ppi. And have them printed (two per) to an exact 4x6, also in 300ppi. They come out perfectly sized.
