Depends on the finish of the card stock. Those with the glossy or semi-glossy finish the ink will have a tough time sticking to the finish. The cards with a flat finish or I think they call it a matte finish I've had pretty good luck with the ink sticking. Bill AC0W

I found a few references to this in the archives, but I am having a couple of problems. One is getting the "label" to print in the correct spot (which, in my case, is the center of the card). I suspect it's just a matter of me playing around with things before I find the right location. The more serious issue is that the ink from my laser printer (HP P2015d) doesn't seem to want to stick to the QSL card. I'm using an inexpensive W4MPY stock card for the trials, but have also used a sample from the QSL Shop. I am wondering if there is a coating on these cards prohibiting the ink from adhering. The card also creates a paper jam if it is placed in the printer in an orientation perpendicular to the envelope feed direction. I'm interesting in hearing from anyone who has made this work.
