I know this question, atleast somewhere either here or somewhere else on the web, but I have not found yet, has been answered.

What is the best way to print either tiles already existing from any of the officail sets or user variants found on the web?

My thought is use a photographic matt paper for the image layer, a plain matt for the back and paste them to a thicker card for the middle to make them the same thickness of the rest of the pieces and pinch the corners so they are not entirely square.

Am I too ambitious? What are your ideas short of getting blanks and printing them or trying to find used tiles to Carcassonne at some second hand store, (yea right like someone would ever get rid of this game, not while I am alive Sad)

Thank-you, Great website

Hi Steve,

I have used Zeta card to great effect. See this thread:

http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=89.msg1653#msg1653

The other way is to purchase a small expansion and use the tiles themselves to mount on.

I use label paper from my local office supply store. Probably the easiest is to get the kind where the whole page is one giant label, because regardless you're going to be attacking it with a hobby knife or scissors.

As probably some of you might know, I asked blank tiles from HiG (with logo printed on the back) and printed tiles on plain paper and glued them to the blank tiles.
