Printing with Make Playing Cards (MPC)

In this tutorial, I show you how to export cards for printing with Make Playing Cards. I'm by no means a printing expert, but here's the process I'd use for printing a prototype deck of poker cards:

1. Apply 3.175mm of bleed to your cards in the dextrous export page.
2. Export your pngs at 300dpi
3. Choose imperial poker size cards (2.5 x 3.5 inches) in Make Playing Cards. and choose your paper type etc. The important thing is making sure whatever card type you choose in MPC matches whatever you've made in Dex.
4. Load in your exported pngs to Make Playing Cards (if you get a 'too low resolution error', you've probably forgotten to apply bleed in step 1).
5. Check your settings are correct and process your order :)

Please note my cards have already been optimised with bleed in mind, so you'll need to do that first (check out my 2 other videos on bleed basics and making a layout bleed-ready if you need help with this).

Corrections:
0:21 - Use 3.175mm of bleed for Launch Tabletop and The Game Crafter!

Happy designing!
