Formatting issue with PNP?

Hello! Gorgeous artwork but question about PNP printing. It says to print them single sided and then use the last page  OR double sided and print them back to back but also says this will make the black and white design on the back of each page.. Am I missing something? Was the intention for us to make copies of the last page and alternate it between the encounter pages and THEN print duplex? because If I print as downloaded I'll have the monsters on both sides of each card?

Hello! Thanks for your question and for the sharp eye! 😊 It looks like you’re absolutely right; the instructions could be clearer on this point. Since the last page was designed as a universal backside for single-sided printing, we didn’t fully account for double-sided printing setups. It was an oversight on our end, as we assumed users would duplicate the back page if needed.

So, yes, to print double-sided with the same design on each back, you’ll need to duplicate that last page. Thanks for catching this, and we’ll look into adjusting the instructions in future updates. Appreciate the feedback—it helps us improve!

thanks for the reply !! Can we get a higher res copy of the files too? Everything is still really blurry even when zooming into the PDFs!

Hello again! 😊 Thanks so much for following up, and I appreciate your patience here. It looks like the blurriness is something we’re actively troubleshooting too. Right now, we think it’s happening because the original images were too high-res, and scaling them down to fit the PDF created some unwanted blur.

We’re still pretty new to this process, so we’re working on finding the best long-term solution, and one option might be redoing the cards in vector for sharper quality (though it’ll take us some extra time).

For now, we’d be happy to release each card as an individual file as png or jpeg at a larger size, which might help with clarity for your print. We’ll try to get it all out by the following we as we recompile all the asset.

We’re grateful for your patience and feedback as we work through these early steps—hearing this from you really helps us understand where we can improve.

Any update on this? Been on leave and have been anticipating doing this before I go back and dont have time, just hoping someone is working on fixing this and not just turning out more games :-D

Hi there! 👋 Thanks for checking in and for your patience. We’ve just uploaded the PDF for the single-page version with a higher resolution, “Single Mintin Cards - Full Size.7z”, so you should be good to go! 🎉

Dadsvelac is correct about the full color cards are not sharp at all on both Letter & A4.  The artwork seems washed out against the color background.  Also, on the print friendly Letter size they are also dull where as they are sharp on the A4 sheets.  

Finally, for duplex  printing of the instruction cards the back-side should be in mirror image of the front-side (example: if the A4 multiplayer cards are center  + right on front then they need to left + center on back).  This holds true for the letter size sheets as well.

Looking forward to an updated download being sent to my email address ASAP.

They replied that they're likely going to do single images last week so I hope they're done !
