Ok guys, let's be honnest : I am working for the magazine whose website I am promoting here 
Actually it's a website about MtG, but the sysop and being V:tes addicts, we somewhat convinced our boss to give tools to fellow V:tes players !
So when you go to www.lotusnoir.info you can create decks from text decklists. Then from the Deck editor, if you print on "iprimer le proxy" -> which of course roughly translates to "Print da proxy now baby !".....
The website generates a PDF page with all the cards at the right scale. They perfectly fit card sleeves. You just have to cut them out, because the website won't do *everything* for you, you lazy bum !
so TRY IT ! even if it's in french
So we serious players will not be annoyed anymore by your paper proxies with names hastily written on them, that slow gameplay and irritates us 
And voilà, I have heroic might all pretty with the verbose thing (so no card text problem when using them) and the bioutifoul illustration !! B-)
Note there is a disclaimer (albeit in french) : this is used to test decks, not to replace in any way official cards. Of course you knew !

Surely this site / service will get sued out of existence?
Admittedly not by the VTES crowd — but by MTG / Wizards...
I think the barrier to creating proxies is a good thing. It requires a bit of effort which discourages most people...

This is a great way to produce proxies for casual games. Having the most recent printing available is crucial.

Wow, Reyda, this is great! I took a quick look, and it looks like you have to become a member of the site to print the proxies. I will definitely investigate further when I get back from the NAC. I think that a service like this is sorely needed.

Is it possible to print just a few cards without providing a full deck list?
For example, I just need 2 copies of Provision of the Silsila and 1 copy of Nizzam al-Latif.
I tried using the site, and with an invalid deck list, I just see a button for "effacer toutes les cartes" (delete all the cards) instead of "iprimer le proxy". Even if I do put in the full deck list, there are only a few of them I really need to print out...
