Question

How many cards can I paint at once?

Answer

For hand painting, keep the stack small enough to clamp evenly. Coverage gets unreliable once the stack is too deep to hold flat.

  • 25 to 50 cards is a manageable batch for DIY.
  • Larger stacks are hard to clamp evenly and leave the middle patchy.
  • Above 50, split into multiple batches or move to professional edge painting for consistent results.
