Hello, Sandys.

Trading cards are now available on MEPD. Legion Ok’d and by Detachment leader. I will be making the Print Ready Files for all the MEPD trading cards for no charge (FREE), but will not provide any printing service. You will only need send to a printing company/service to complete you cards. See below for that information. My service also includes color-correction and masking the costume to the set background. Do not modify, alter or copy elements in the files I provide. There will be no “runs” this will be an ongoing service. You send the information to me and it will be as a first in first out (As they come in), you will get the files for approval in return.

I will make the files and send them to you for approval or to change something if you need. Then you will be ready to send them to your printer to complete your trading cards.

For Europe and world equitant to same paper in the US):

Paper must be printed on: High coated "both sides", invercote creato, 300 gram, format: 64x89 mm. NO matt or gloss foil. 

(if the printing company/service does not have the above paper, make sure its 14pt+ or 300+ grams, High coated "both sides" and if the company does not have that paper weigh, it’s always better to go higher "thicker")

 

Photo Tips:

 

For best quality on your photos: it’s best to take them outside, the light outside makes a big difference. Try to have a neutral background (not strong colors) also be aware of shadows that reflect onto your costume. If you are taking photos inside, try to stand a place with the most/best light. Do not have the light source behind you

DO: 

1 Take a cool action shoot, after you will be recognized by your striking pose. 

2 Take a head shot picture without helmet if you want 

3 Make it in a descent size and resolution. Pics above 2mb at a great size and format will do great 

 

DON’T: 

1 Avoid over exposure. Too shiny armor pics lack detail and make you look more like a TK. Need to see the dirt! 

2 Try to stay away from the flashlight. It makes light upon your gear to mess up your pic. 

3 Avoid a visually contaminated background. Therefore we don't lose detail when cutting you guys out in artwork

 

Stay Dirty!
