The Forge Manual (FAQ)
How do I print to ensure the correct size?
To ensure your minis are exactly 1 inch (or the chosen scale), follow these steps when printing the PDF:
- Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat or your browser.
- In the print settings, look for “Scale” or “Page Sizing”.
- Select “Actual Size” or set Scale to 100%.
- Do NOT select “Fit to Page” or “Shrink to Fit”, as this will make your tokens slightly smaller than the grid.
What kind of paper should I use?
For the best durability:
- Cardstock (160-200 gsm): This is the best balance. It’s thick enough to stand up on its own but still easy to cut and fold.
- Standard Paper: Works fine, but your “Foldable Minis” might be a bit flimsy. You can glue them onto a thicker piece of cardboard or use a washer as a base weight.
- Photo Paper: Makes the colors pop beautifully, but ensure it’s not too glossy or the ink might smear when folding.
Can I use this for commercial products?

My image is sideways or stretched!
The Forge tries to auto-fit your image best as it can.
- For Foldable Minis: Use a portrait (vertical) image for best results.
- For Circular Tokens: You can use the built-in editor (step 3) to zoom and drag your image to center the face perfectly inside the circle.
Where can I find cool character art?
If you don’t have art yet, you can create your own custom characters for free using our generator!
