Printing Custom Pieces- Best Practices

[PaulLevering 0]

Has anyone come accross some good techniques for printing custom pieces in a quality close to the official material?  Everything seems to be in a semi-gloss with the exception of the monster/ investigator tokens that have that canvas texture.  Is there a particular paper weight that seems to work well?

I sketch mine on the backs of dead squirrels. Their blood is my ink. HA HA!

Actually I just print on regular paper and glue the pic on cereal boxes. Mrs Gamura showed me how to do it.

Hmm a cereal box would be about the right density.  I havent looked yet, but i figure any art supply store would have the right kind of paper.  I found an almost perfect kind for monster tiles at Staples but the sheet was like 2ft x 3ft.

For monsters one way to play is to put all the unused Spawn (and Mask?) monsters into the cup. If a player draws a Spawn monster, they should draw from a separate cup devoted to all the home made monsters.

For GOOs shuflle the GOO pile then roll a dice, count that many down and put that GOO into play. Same goes with Heralds and Guardians.

For Common Items, Unique Items, etc. get a lot of them first before adding them to your decks, so that, by bulk of numbers alone, it doesn't matter too much whether you are drawing home-brew cards or not. Corinthians expansion is a good place to start.

Investigator Cards

1.  Ensure that you Custom Prepare the Investigator Card as a .png file

2.  Open the file in Paint

3.  Set margins to zero (even though it won't actually let you select zero)

4.  Use 5" x 7" glossy photo paper

4.  Print

The image is not perfect, but it makes for a fine product.

Strange Eons program is the best to print all components.

Anyone ever try using Kinko's? You could save your file and take it to them to print... I haven't done this, but have thought about it because they have all types of paper and poster boards.
