Attaching my 3e Fate and Reaper images here. I scanned in board and card artwork, arranged it, and then did some text.
Edit: The images look small again! Link here, scroll down to Talisman.

1. Use the thinnest paper EVER.
2. Always print JPEG as a full bleed (borderless) image with an image size of 8.5x11 (Letter)
3. Create an image file with lines 1/16th" apart and TOP written on the top. Lines need to go north south in one spot, east west in the other.
4. Print that image as double sided, both sides, 4 times.
5. Hold up to light and using a scale (fine line ruler) check the difference in registration on each.
6. Average the registration difference.
7. Adjust the back side image by that amount.
8. Verify accuracy, if not, rinse repeat.
You'll never, ever, ever get better than 1/32 and you're probably only going to get 1/16th at best. When creating cards, make sure to have a 1/3" bleed area around the images so when you cut, it will hide any misregistration.

Alternatively, print the fronts and backs on different pages and just stick them together in a card sleeve. Use a single dab from a gluestick between the front and back just to hold them in place together in the sleeve. I generally don't do this because it's 2x the paper and cutting, though.

I used chipboard for mine, and I think I cut out the rough shape of the circle with scissors and the then trimmed it closer to a circle, then used sandpaper to sand off any rough edges so it was a smooth circle. Then I printed the image on adhesive backed paper, stuck it on, and used a FFG black dial piece to attach them together.
I basically did this exact same thing except used thick illustration board and went saw > trim with box cutter > sandpaper. Does anyone know a source for more those FFG black dial pieces... I think I had extra from Chaos in the Old World. When we made 2 other Dune PnPs this year my friends were left finding their own solutions.
