Card came from an upcycled copy of the background card. Printing achieved using my own custom proxy method

Just a heads up that Proxyjak sells an "open box" variant listed here: https://proxyjak.com/products/inkjet-proxy-cardstock-white-core-semi-gloss?variant=46374459342927

It turns out these are not open boxes, they are factory rejects. This is explained in the package in an attached letter when it arrives after purchase, but it's not disclosed at all in the product listing. It is not as thick/strong as their normal listings despite them charging the same price for them.

Knowing this would have changed my purchasing decision, and I think it's intentionally disingenuous of them to hide that this paper is out-of-spect.

Since I learned about it here and from CryCry's videos, this seemed like a good place to warn others.

As far as how it prints? It's nearly identical to this stuff on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQC8QRF1) but at 3.5x the price.

So I ordered some of this proxyjack paper and printed out some cards on my Older inkjet printer. The print came out way darker than it should IMO and the ink smudged a lot even after sitting for like an hour. Is it printer? Printer settings? Do I need a newer printer? Is inkjet ok to use? Looking at a OfficeJet Pro 8135e because I can get one on clearance but if it yields the same results I don’t want to buy it.

Probably going to get back into MTG and here's my attempt at a Superstate for my Bruna deck that doesn't feel wildly out of place, liked Eldrazi Conscription being fitting so went with a similar motif here

Im printing on 180 gr double sided glossy photo paper and laminating with 75 mic sheets. They have a similar rigidity to a original card, but they are thicker and a little heavier.

I'm still ok with the result. Gonna try 160 gr paper on my next order.

Took some pictures and made a video with the help of a friend 😁

I've been making a bunch of proxy stuff for a few decks I'm working on, planning on doing a big order from Printing Proxies. I wanted some on-theme custom mountains for my Ashling deck.... I wish I was more sorry, but I'm not.

I started making these simplistic outline tokens and had to make Jimothy! Need to finish off the design and maybe add a little bit more detail to this rascal, but just had to share. The bear token gives an idea of what it looks in real life. What should I do next? I’m thinking squirrel..

The market background even kind of matches the rooftops a bit. I can almost see someone painting them into the frame tossing that pigskin around or just them on the roof.
