September 20 print edition. These PDF proofs retain the earlier Field Guide artwork. The updated Kala screen theme preserves the same card dimensions.
These downloads contain invented design samples. The nine-card deck made from real catch projections stays in the private local project folder.
Use 100% scale, landscape, backgrounds enabled, and short-edge duplex. Back columns are mirrored. Test one sheet on plain paper: front top-left must line up with back top-right. Check a cut card measures 63.5 × 88.9 mm. Printer feed direction can require a different duplex setting. Single-sided fronts in identical opaque sleeves provide a fallback.
Trim: 2.5 × 3.5 inches, 5:7 ratio. Digital master: 800 × 1120 pixels. Bleed: 0.125 inch per edge, producing 825 × 1125 pixels at 300 DPI. Essential content sits 5.08 mm inside the trim. The common play back conceals each card’s identity.
These are RGB proofs. Confirm the chosen printer’s template, corner die, coating and color profile. MakePlayingCards uses a different 822 × 1122 upload template. Test dark detail, lime color, daylight legibility and sleeve fit with a physical proof. Manufacturing approval remains pending.
Collector cards show evidence fields. Play cards share one back. Scores and finish concepts never alter source facts or certify a catch. A receipt link and QR code require a working consent-aware receipt service; neither is fabricated here.
