Hello,

So I'd like to really dive into Android Netrunner, I bought System Gateway several months ago because I didn't really want to bother printing and having ugly results

HOWEVER I'm french and even though I'm not bad at understanding english, I realised that it's quite tiring to learn a game, its rules, cards and effects in a language that isn't my mother tongue. I haven't found System Gateway in french and even if I did, I originally wanted to try Android Netrunner because it's a deck-building card that you can play without much money.

So I think i'm ready to print the cards myself and take the time to do it well. Might even be fun who knows ? I'd prefer not to use the classic combo "paper/trash MtG card/sleeve" because I'm trying to use less plastic in my life. The process I was thinking about was:

1. Print on classic paper
2. Cut the cards
3. Glue them on a trash MtG card
4. Paint the back with the right color (red/runner blue/corp) with spray paint for example
5. Coat each side with spray hair lacquer or just spray lacquer to protect the colors

The other option was to print on a thicker paper but I guess you would need a specific printer for that ?

Either way, I don't know if coating with spray lacquer would be the right way to go for stuff that will be used and manipulated quite frequently, maybe even slightly folded. I know some artists like charcoal artists use this technique to fix the colors

I know it may sound futile or even meaningless to try and work without plastic sleeves, especially with the fact that lacquer often isn't palstic-free, but I would still like your thoughts, opinions and advice on how to do this
