X-Men (Pro)
Stern, 2012Lets try this. I still think this forum compresses the files the more images you post in one reply. Lets see what happens if I post one pic per post.
All cards in one file can be downloaded here:
ftp://jackal2001.gotdns.com/xmencards.rar
Cards should be printed at 5.5" x 3". If you import them into MS Publisher they are the correct size.
Well those who said this forum doesn't compress images is full of sh1t.
That image above is over 700K on my PC and only 188K if you download it from the link.
So do you think it is compressing the size of the file (pixels) or just the file size / quality (KB)?
I dl that with the link below the picture and it dl as 1600 x 873 24bit color at 300dpi. File size is 188 KB.
I'd also heard people say that if you download using the link below the pics you would get better quality download than just viewing the picture and saving it....that seems to be false information too.
Thanks for the dl link jackal2001. I'm about to check them out now.
Quoted from Donnyman:Do i need to re size them or will they print to fit the card inserts on the apron
Depending on how you print them. I pull the pics into Microsoft Publisher and they are sized correctly.
It looks like the forum compresses the picture size (pixles) to also save on the KB size. This is why I was having to resize all of the bigger files (300dpi & 400dpi) that you were posting before.
Thanks again for the cards and the uncompressed download link. With the additional Gambit and split Wolvie cards...I can see I will be switching my cards up from time to time.
If you are feeling any more, I have another suggestion. How about an instruction card with the left (masked) half of the Wolvie face on the right side of it (no X symbol behind him) and a matching design team card with the right (unmasked) Wolvie half on the left side of that card?

Re-Download the pack. I added these you requested.

Sweeeeeeet! Thanks a lot again!
Quoted from jackal2001:Just added a few more cards including this one...
All available in the download pack (link above).
Thanks for the update. You keep posting them and I'll keep downloading them. 
I looked around for X-Men team images and it was really hard to find good team pictures that only contained characters that the pin features.
Not to mention that I can't edit a lot of the photos or do I care to try. Like I said before there are a lot of people that make their own characters that just don't look right or there are a lot of poor scans of comic covers. Not much I can do with those images at my skill level.
At least my PC is back up and running after trying to fix my video card. I reflowed the solder by baking the entire card in the oven for a few minutes.
Quoted from markmon:I put this together if anyone is interested.
Love it! However, it's very hard to read the white lettering. Could you make it a different color, bolder, etc?

Sorry, I only have the JPGs left which are no longer layered so I can't change the text color any more. Before I did try various colors and it was worse with other colors except maybe a bright green, but that looked really bad. I wish I still had the PSD still then I could just send it to you guys to mess with it 
Jackal I like the second one with the whole team in it.
Markmon they both look great but I do agree a different color text would make it even better.
First of all, thanks for contributing these to the community! I would like to chime in regarding the upload quality.
JPG images uploaded to the Pinside forum are always re-compressed to save our storage and bandwidth. For forum usage this is fine, for sharing custom score cards : not so good.
In your case, I would suggest uploading these in a PDF container. This will also allow people to simply print the PDF with Adobe Reader and always have the exact size printed out.
Another solution could be to zip the JPG, avoiding image re-compression. But we currently don't allow .zip file uploads. We may in the future to support efforts like these cool score cards.
Hope that clarifies things a bit!
