General Use & Importing
You can start building your print list in two ways:
- Commander Decks: Browse the catalog of official preconstructed decks. Choose one and click "Print Deck" to load the full list directly into the Custom Print tool.
- Custom Print: Manually add cards by searching for the card name, or import a full list from external deckbuilding websites.
Importing from Moxfield is very easy:
- Go to your deck's page on Moxfield.
- Click the Export button (often found under "More" actions or via the export icon).
- Choose the Copy to Clipboard option, making sure 'Text format' is selected (the default Moxfield text format).
- Go to the Custom Print tab in this application.
- Click the Deck button at the top and choose Import Deck.
- Paste your copied text there and click the import button. All cards will be fetched and added to your print list.
In the Custom Print view, extra options appear when you hover over a card (or tap it on mobile):
- Change Art: Click the paintbrush icon to open a popup. Here you can see all available prints and artworks (such as borderless, showcase, or retro frames) for that specific card. Click on the desired image to select it.
- Change Quantities: Use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons over the card to adjust the number of copies you want to print. You can also remove cards by setting the count to zero.
Layout, Margins & Cut Lines
By default, the gap is set to 3mm. We do this intentionally to make the cutting process easier and more forgiving. If cards are placed directly against each other (0mm gap), you must cut with extreme precision. If you cut even a millimeter off, you'll immediately see the edge of the adjacent card on your proxy. With a small white space or gap between them, you have much more margin for minor deviations during cutting because you're cutting purely through white space instead of another card.
When you enable "Add crop marks," thin black guide lines are printed at the edges of the paper. These lines intersect just outside the cards' printing area. They show exactly where to cut. By placing a long ruler (preferably a metal cutting ruler) along these lines, you can make perfectly straight cuts with a craft knife without seeing the lines themselves on the final card. This is much more accurate and cleaner than trying to follow the card edges by eye with scissors.
Real Magic: The Gathering cards have rounded corners (a radius of about 3.5mm). If we placed the card images with these rounded corners on a sheet of white paper, you would be left with a tiny white triangle in all four corners when cutting them out (in a sharp rectangle).
By checking the "Fill rounded corners" option, the system fills these missing corners with black. If you then cut the card square (as a perfect rectangle) and put it in a sleeve with a dark background, these hard black corners blend perfectly into the sleeve's background. For the best, professional-looking result, cut the cards straight first, then use a special 'corner punch' (e.g., 3mm or 4mm) to neatly round off the corners. The black fill acts as a 'bleed,' ensuring you never see a white edge if your punch is a millimeter off or tilted.
Printing Advice, Paper & Double-Sided Printing
Printing both the front and back of a card sounds ideal, but in practice, perfectly aligning both sides (duplex printing) is nearly impossible for almost all home printers (and even many professional machines). When the paper is physically flipped in the printer, there is always some "margin shift." Even a deviation of 1 or 2 millimeters is disastrous for a playing card.
This leads to the problem where you cut the front perfectly along the lines, only to discover the back is crooked, off-center, or cut off. We therefore strongly recommend printing only the fronts and playing them in opaque sleeves, possibly with a regular bulk card behind them for thickness and rigidity.
If you still insist on double-sided printing (by checking the "Include Card Back pages" option), always use Forgiving Backs. This feature still uses the real back of a card but adds a crucial improvement for cutting.
On the front side of the cards, the space between them (the "gap") is white and empty. With the Forgiving Backs option, we fill the space between the cards on the back page entirely with a black background.
This is specifically designed to correct for printer inaccuracies. Since printers never align the back 100% perfectly relative to the front, this black fill gives you extra margin. If you then cut the cards perfectly from the front, the extra black background on the back page ensures you won't see white edges on the back of your cards, even if the print is shifted by a millimeter.
The choice of paper largely determines how the proxy feels in a sleeve and which cutting method is best to use. There are three popular methods:
This is the most accessible method. You print on very thin, normal printer paper. After cutting out the proxy, use a bit of spray adhesive or a thin, even layer of glue stick to paste the print directly over the front of an unused real bulk card (like a Basic Land). This gives your proxy exactly the right stiffness, weight, and "snap" of a real card without making your deck noticeably thicker. Always play these in a sleeve to protect the edges.
This paper is slightly thicker than normal paper, so ink doesn't bleed through and prints are sharper. You cut out the proxy and simply slide it in front of a real bulk card in a sleeve. No need to mess with glue, and since the paper is still relatively thin, your total deck of 100 cards won't be much thicker than a normal Commander deck.
This heavy paper provides a sturdiness close to a real Magic card. Ideal if you want to put the proxy directly into a sleeve without a bulk card behind it. Note: not every home printer can handle this thick paper well without jamming or smearing the ink.
