Michi Binder Studio / Guide

TCG binder art guide

Create, position and print extended artwork for a standard 9-pocket trading-card binder—whether you collect Pokémon, Lorcana, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Gundam, or another card game.

01

Add artwork

Choose the + button or drag and drop an image into the binder. Start with the highest-resolution image you have; the editor prepares it for 300 DPI and fills the chosen layout.

02

Position the image

Drag the highlighted artwork in the binder until the crop looks the way you want it to print.

03

Keep building your spread

You can stop at one image or continue adding artwork to fill as much of the binder as you like.

04

Adjust placement if needed

If a layout is not permitted, try a different starting pocket in Place in binder. Only layouts that fit the remaining pockets are available.

05

Choose an export

When your spread is ready, select Export PNG or Export JPG.

06

Pick the pockets to export

The export window lets you select the populated slots you want to print.

07

Check how many files are created

Depending on the binder layout, the export may produce one file or several. A continuous two-pocket image is kept as one file; pockets divided by a binder gap are exported separately.

08

Print your files

Open the exported files in your preferred image viewer or print app, then choose Print.

09

Print at actual size

Set printing to 100% and do not select Scale to fit or Scale to page.

10

Enjoy your binder

Have fun—and use Report bug in the studio if you have an improvement idea or spot a problem.
