I'm updating my proxy gauntlet for Waterbury and I was looking for some help.  Typically I go to some site where the images aren't protected and paste them into word and then print.  I'm wondering:

1) Is there a better way, or a good proxy site that I don't know about
2) If not, what are the correct dimensions when printing from Word for regular size sleeves (cutting off any white, leaving just the color).

Any other suggestions are appreciated.

When I print proxies, I go to magiccards.info, then copy whatever image I need.  I paste them into MSPaint in a 3X3 matrix, and print with the margins maximized, fitted to 1 page.  They fit perfectly over the cards.  Also, I use a black background, just to make the image more asthetically pleasing.  Be sure to leave a bit of space between cards (less than 1/4 inch) for border/slice room.

last I knew, Ray did not allow paper inside of sleeves for proxies. I would just take the time to sharpie up some basic lands. I made my proxies from lands from Ravnica(the space between the borders are light enough to read what you put down) To make it simple for my opponents, I used the proper color lands for my moxen, islands for ancstral recall and time walk... If you have to make them by hand, do them neatly so you can use them anytime you need to.

This is for testing, not the tourney itself.
