Deck as PDF
Printing the cards
The deck can be printed using a printer-ready file (PDF, 11MB). Currently available version is v2.0 (rev 2.05).
Crop margins are included. Please see printing recommendations, below.
Recommended printer settings
A3, two-sided, left binding.
For those already familiar with the cards (i.e., with less need to check the screenshots and their small captions), scaling down to A4/Letter may be proper, reducing printing costs.
Other printing recommendations
Please test colour results in your printer, e.g. using one of the front pages, before printing the all deck.
The file was prepared to use the sRGB standard, which should provide faithfull colours, in general.
Please share your experience, should you find trouble or better approaches to do this.
Printing a box
A box for storing the cards is also available, should that be considered interesting. Yet two aspects require attention before going on:
- The box may not fit a deck that is printed on too thick paper. So, it is necessary to have the deck ready, first, and then measure the resulting thickness to make sure it is worth printing the box.
- If the cards got somehow scaled during their printing process, then the box size will not match their size. Nonetheless, if the box is printed using the same scaling factor, it may (it should) still work.
The box, as resulting from the provided PDF printed at 100% (i.e., no scaling), is supposed to be 88x115x20mm The PDF is a A4. Further Instructions are provided within the file.
The workspace
The suggested workspace can also be printed. We've been using something like an A2 format, printed in a plotter, which seems to be big enough.
Yet, two A3 sheets glued together, with the regions drawn by hand, do the job, too...
