I won't be doing this via professional printing. I'll find out how to do it myself, or I won't do it at all. There are any number of reasons for this.

Any cards I print will be for my use, and given to a very few friends. Making money illegally is not the goal here; having "official looking" cards that represent in-jokes for my group is.

So blank card sheets are not available? That probably does mean printing on transparent labels, then.

This may need to wait until we invest in a new printer anyway. Right now we're using an old HP OfficeJet.
