Getting Started
Thank you for ordering the Electronic Republican Tarot Deck! This file contains the deck, and complete instructions for making your cards, which
are designed to accompany The Pictorial Key to the Republican Tarot.. You can make a Handsome Box* to hold your cards. An instructional
booklet for using the Tarot Cards may be produced*, that will also fit in the Box. Or, you may choose to simply use and enjoy the cards in their
electronic format!
To print this "Getting Started" guide, print page 1-2 only of this file.
Making your deck of 80 Tarot cards (including title card and Bonus Joker!) is an "Arts & Crafts" project that is pretty simple, and doesn't require
any fancy supplies or equipment.* It does require patience and care! If you have a fifth grader around, they can probably help! Remember, if your
first attempt doesn't turn out as well as you'd like, try again; the Electronic Republican Tarot Deck is yours to keep and use for yourself, as long as
you like!
Supplies for the Cards: You will need 10 sheets of 8.5 x 11 inch white card stock suitable for your color printer; more if you wish to print a test page.
The cards are in full color, so start with plenty of ink or toner! If you can find coated gloss cardstock (about 100 lb). at a paper supplier in your
area, and have it cut to size, this is the best way to go! I got beautiful results with a nearly-empty ink jet cartridge, on what I'd thought of as a "test
sheet" – wow! I can't speak yet for the relative durability of this stock, but the cards look and feel good right from the printer.
It is easier and less expensive to buy ready cut "index card" stock (95 lbs. or better), or photo paper (printing the card back [page 3] on the
non-coated side); however, you may need more ink to print on either of these papers, and plain cardstock, especially, will need reinforcement.
You may prolong the life of such cards by laminating them, but this will give a very slippery finish; also, laminated cards won't fit into the
box provided. In that case, the box design may be printed onto full-page white label paper and applied to a suitably-sized box.
Plain Cards (http://www.plaincards.com/Shop/shopdisplaycategories.asp) offers a spray-on plastic finish for ink-jet printed cards. One
can is said to be enough for two regular playing card decks, so ought to be plenty for one 80-card Tarot deck. I have a sample can I'm trying, but
can't say how long the coated cards will last in ordinary use. The finish feels good. NOTE: I have no connection with this company except as a
customer, so please check it out for yourself if you're interested. Warning: this is a volatile aerosol spray with numerous safety precautions and is
surely bad for the environment; definitely NOT for children or people with respiratory problems!
When you've made your paper decision,
1. Print page 3 only of this file onto one side of all 10 sheets of cardstock/photo paper. This will be the cards' back. Allow ink to dry
thoroughly before proceeding with Step Two.
2. Re-insert the printed pages into your printer so that the reverse sides will be printed. Print pages 4 – 13 of this file. (For a test sheet, print
any one of these pages.) Again, allow the ink to dry thoroughly before proceeding with Step Three.
3. Using a home or office paper cutter, or scissors if you prefer, remove ½ inch margin around all 10 pages.
4. Again using a paper cutter or scissors, separate the 80 cards. You may round off the corners if you wish.
While this may not be the best way possible to print playing cards, for a topical, speculative deck such as The Republican Tarot, I hope you will
agree it works! And if it is true that a deck, over time, comes to know its Reader, how much more shall yours know its Maker? Depending on your
printer, ink, paper stock used, and the amount of use your cards get, they may need to be occasionally replaced. Keep this file on your computer,
but please remember that you bought it for yourself; this is a copyrighted, registered work and all other rights are reserved.
To print the Box, you'll need 2 more sheets of heavy cardstock. Print page 14, following directions for cutting, folding, and gluing the box. Two
sheets of 95 lb. cardstock ("index card"), glued together after just one is printed, allowed to dry, then cut out together, make a very satisfactory
box. I've used the plastic spray discussed above to good effect on a box as well as the cards themselves; just be sure to sign your personal box in
the space provided before sealing it with plastic!
For the Introduction, print pages 15 – 18 onto plain paper (white or pastel). See page 20 for full directions. Fold, staple and cut as indicated. This
Introduction, while no substitute for The Pictorial Key to the Republican Tarot, may aid the novice practitioner when the book is unavailable.
If you don't want to actually make the cards, box, and booklet, you may still want to print out the Introduction to the
Republican Tarot as a handy reference. If so, simply print pages 21 – 24 of this file on plain paper.
See full information on page 20 for printing two Bonus Postcards with art from The Republican Tarot, and from my other work, and/or a second
Bonus Joker!
Thanks very much for downloading The Electronic Republican Tarot – I hope that you'll find these cards amusing and, perhaps, educational; and
with the utmost sincerity I desire that Fortune visit you with abundance, peace, and joy! If you have any comments about this work, or any
problems with assembly, please let me hear from you -- visit my website, or my storefront at Lulu.com, to e-mail me.
