Where to people print fan-made tiles? How?
« on: January 31, 2017, 09:52:35 AM »
I'm located in Canada and I'm wondering how you print tiles from fan-made sets? My wife and I are interested in printing some awesome fan-made tiles but don't know how?

Thanks.

It's a nice topic, the Avery white laser labels is expensive, so I'm buying the Offix one (25$ for 100 sheets, made in Canada) and for the sheet, may be deal with a professionnal photograph with unuseful color (for 20$ I'm making 320 tiles), not enough thick, put together with adhesive spray like 3M 77. At the end I'm saving about 75% off the price of the regular tile, the shipping cost is too high... double the price.

Just a thought I haven't tried yet, but WalMart will print a jpg onto a 16"x20" board for $16, seems to be about the same thickness as Carc tiles...  It's a bit more expensive but for those who really want the best result, it's worth looking into.

How do you prevent custom/fan-made tiles to be recognized as such?
