How do you print these cards off?

download the cards to the device that can connect to your printer (the low-res version, if you're using the new card maker). Open an image editor, such as Photoshop, or if you have no access to it, Photopea, which is free and works online. Photopea has templates, so choose the letter-sized one. Allocate 9 cards in the letter-sized canvas, and print. I think the required resolution for the cards to be at the exact real size is 300 or 350, can't remember. If you're feeling like obtaining a better resolution, take your JPG/PNG/PDF file to a printing centre.

I proceeded to measure a yugioh card's length and it came out to 8.6?? cm. where ?? are the digits I couldn't get from a ruler. Rounding the pixel count up to the nearest 10, the height of the card needs to be changed to 410 if there are 120 pixels per inch.

Try 410 pixels in the height of the card and if that doesn't work, adjust for the pixel count on the picture that you get. Some programs let you press Ctrl+E to find this elusive DPI.

yep, a real YGO card is exactly 5.9 x 8.6 cm. To go into detail here I downloaded a low-res card from the beta card maker and check its characteristics.

694x1013 px

72 DPI by default

245 x 357 mm real size if printed with that DPI (humongous)

So, evidently, you need to change the DPI. if you create a new file using the Letter-Size template, it creates a 2550 x 3300 image size with 300 DPI (216 x 279 mm). Next, you just copy paste the cards into the letter-size image and the cards will automatically change to the DPI of the file they're being pasted in. Anyway, for the sake of this explanation, I'll show that changing the DPI to 300 of the cards WILL adjust them to the size we need

First you change the DPI, and the system adjusts by increasing the pixel size. So you place back the original pixel size, 694 x 1013, and:

Voilá, 59 x 86 mm, real card size. Again, this is unnecessary if you simply paste the cards in an already 300 DPI letter-sized template. Then you proceed to allocate them:

And print.

Just download the cards and open them in paint.net and adjust them to 300ppi and adjust the size to 3.25×2.25
