would anyone recommend this for painting magic cards or other trading card game cards?

It is OK, but right now the world is changing , good acrylics are available and are available in more and stronger colors and they are sold here on Amazon. Testors used to be the standard, but it is an enamal and the solvent is an alcohol, between colors the paint brushes have to be cleaned in this alcohol. Acrylics are water based and the brushes are cleaned in water. Again both will work, especially if you are starting with a new card and not just touching up an existing card.

No. Enamels are not good for painting cards. It would curl the card. Enamel paint is generally for solid, non porous surfaces.

I think this would do great for just about any small to medium sized painting project. I'm no expert and I had great results spraying un-thinned latex paint on my furniture project. It made painting quick and easy.

I wouldn't recommend it, the paint is alcohol based and need a rubbing alcohol to remove. Plus it would be very sticky. If you can find a water based paint to use in this system you might have better luck.

Definately, that's the only type paint I've used it for so far. I used the gloss finish and it turned out like a fine grand piano finish! I was in a hurry to get it done so I didn't take the time to do much adjustment to the amount of paint it was spraying, just tested it on a large piece of cardboard and it was O.K. but a bit heavy. I went ahead and used it that way and it worked fine but I used a lot of paint, in fact I ran out of the quart I had bought for my small chain link fence project and bought another quart. I now have a grand piano finish on a chain link fence, kind of overkill for the first project with this paint sprayer. I will attempt to paint a house next so I will definately try to adjust the paint volume I spray for that and not overdo it and be wasteful.

I wouldn't recommend it. I used it on card stock and was very disappointed. You can it, but it isn't nearly as nice as on a regular paper.

I would not recommend this for a deck for a few reasons:1. It is very soft, even when cured. It would handle the weather great, but would be destroyed by foot traffic very quickly.2. It is a High Gloss (think glasslike) finish and I would think VERY slippery when wet.3. It is very expensive, and you'd need multiple (8+) coats to build it up.I would check with the manufacturer to see if they have a different product suitable to your needs.

I use this stuff for assembling Warhammer miniatures. I found it is easier to glue the plastic models in their unpainted form, but it will still work even with a layer of paint, although not quite as well. It takes longer to bond as it sort of eats away the paint, so you may have to hold it together longer but it's still sufficiently strong for my purposes.

I have used oil based paint and it worked great. Make sure you clean it well afterwords.

Would depend on use of brushes etc.. Great for someone "playing" - . Finding , for me - need of stronger cleaners . Then I'm painting "a lot"... It's ok ..Good luck ..

I use the mat for a tile game, Mah Jong. I think the mat would work similarly for cards. The mat adds friction allowing you to get a better grasp of the tile/card. Actually there are two different surfaces and you could test which side is best.

I use a program called Paint Tool SAI, so unfortunately i cannot answer your question. Sorry. But from what I've seen, I think it works, but you should look it up on the internet before purchasing. I do find it extremely useful though. :)

X-Press It Blending Card works the best of all Ive tried..including the brand recommended by Spectrum Noir.

This would work great for finger paints and you should have no problem using it for that.

You can use the full screen option to make cards big enough - I would think this should work for you.

I have not tried it for that. Honestly, I was very disappointed with the poor resolution when I printed a folded full card that I have not used it since. My intent was to create the cards and then send to UPS for professional color printing on card stock. The cards printed that way are only about $1.50 each so I thought it was a great alternative... but the quality just was not there... the wording was not crisp but rather blurred.

Funny you should mention that, bc I bought this hoping to be able to sand a deck. It works wonderfully on single boards, like a railing, so it'd work great for that. That's really what it's designed for. For the actual deck though, this would take FOR EH VER, so save yourself the trouble and get a belt sander or rent a floor sander from home depot. You'll thank yourself. As for grit, for a deck I'd probably go with 80 grit sand paper

Being recycled paper, it is more absorbent than watercolor paper, but if you keep your paints a little on the dry side, it should work. The envelopes that come with them are worthless. They are so thin, they tear when you insert the folded card.
