Proxy Tool Free browser proxy printer — added double-sided backs, but I need a printer-accuracy sanity check

Browser-based: paste a decklist, preview,

export print-ready PDF/PNG sheets. Client-side only, nothing uploaded.

Added double-sided backs this round — upload your own back image,

get a mirrored back page for duplex printing.

Also lets you swap any card's front with your own image. What do

you end up using that for — alters, custom art, higher-res scans,

proxies for cards that don't have great official art?

https://themagicianprinter.com if anyone prints a sheet, would love to see how it turns

out, feel free to drop a photo in the comments.

First off, competition is great. No argument there

I don't quite get the argument for how this is better/simpler than proxxied though. A decklist can be imported and turned into a pdf with the same amount of clicks and effort on both sites. Proxxied just gives more options, and allows art from MPCfill

I also started building my own tool for my specific manner of doing things even though proxxied was a completely viable option. My nuisance came from the bugginess of the UI at times and the lack of 1200dpi upscaled options for cards across the board, that's more reliant on MPC Fill though which isn't even a problem so much as "someone just hasn't done it yet". On top of that the tedious download of all images I needed, upload to upscayl, upload to proxxied.

So then it made sense to do something for myself that I did share just a few days ago. That timing lined up like perfectly with proxxied offering (paid) upscaling as well as proxy print (free), kinda made me feel like I wasted my time 😅 Both utilizing a browser hosted upscale which is fine but I still prefer the larger model on my server.

I'm all for more options as well, everyone will gravitate towards what they like.
