About Me

What is TCOcards

My name is Tom, I am a Graphic Designer with a love for collecting trading cards! I created TCOcards and independantly run it, this includes; creating the cards, social media and this website. I wanted to combine my skills to create something truly unique. I give non holo cards some new life with the use of foil, giving them a beautiful holographic finish.

Setup

Laser Printer

Brother HL L2400DW

This is the printer that I use, it is a Brother HL L2400DW. It is a black and white laser printer meaning that there are no options to print colour, for the foiling process this is completely fine and keeps the costs much lower!

Laminator

Precision Foil Pro

This is the laminatior that I use, it has 3 different heat settings which allow me to choose the best one for the cards I am working on. It works amazingly and can get to the ideal temperature in around 3 minutes!

Toner Foil

Patsy May Toner Foil

This is the brand of toner foil that I will be using, I find that they give the best results and being UK based means its really easy for me to obtain!

Cards

Genuine Cards

Despite my cards being custom, I still opt to use genuine cards that I have either got from packs or acquired from the secondary market. This guarantees that they will match with any other cards within your collection!
