I'm not sure if this belongs here, it's divination, but still.
I'm soon moving to Europe and I wanted to make my own deck (oracle for the moment I think), but I wanted to know of some card printers. I know the site "makeplayingcards" is a good one, but it's US based and shipping would cost a lot. I wanted to know if there's something similar that lets you print only one deck but based in Europe.
Making your own deck would be a huge undertaking, if tarot, it would be 78 cards. An oracle deck could be less, I guess.
Sorry I don't know of any printers, I just wish to say "Good Luck" with your enterprise.
I'm half-way through drawing my own Oracle, so good luck. I'm doing it myself, though, I bought some blank playing cards and I'm drawing them individually.
You could try your local print shop, but printing a large number of playing card quality stock might become expensive and so I still highly recommend makingplayingcards.com or printerstudio.com because it might still be cheaper than a local printing shop.
From my experience makeplayingcards.com shipping rate to Australia is relatively cheap, (~$10 AUD, which is around $7 USD).
Although I haven't yet ordered anything from printerstudio.com but they look like they have a lot of options for printing Tarot cards, their prices also look a little bit cheaper than MKC, but I'm not sure about their shipping rates.
Or you could purchase DIY Tarot making kits, but that usually involve some level of creativity which I lack so I have never tried to recommend it.

Thank you! I thought of doing them directly on blank cards, but I thought it might be too much trouble in the end.... I hadn't heard of printerstudio, so I will sure check it out. And if not, I might end up with makeplayingcards :)
