I make counters for my own homebrew games...
When I make my game counters, I use cheap photo paper. (I don't know
what you call it...it is the kind that comes 50 sheets to a pack for a
few US$.)
My counters are double fold counters. Each counter is a front panel, a
back panel, and a center panel. So the counters are double sided. The
only bad point is I only get some 50 counters per sheet...:-(
When I do up a set, I print it first on regular paper to see how it
looks. Then I print it on the cheap photo paper.
The only odd thing is the resulting counter size.
I have a PC. The software I use comes with windows. When I print it
with paint, the counters are a nice 5/8s inch. When I print the same
picture with imager, the counters are 1/2 inch. Odd, but usefull.
