Dave, I print directly to the non-glossy back of a photo card with no problems. The printer is an HP LaserJet P2015d. I prepared a how-to document to show how to set up DX4WIN to do the printing (spacing, etc) if you are interested.

I am wondering if anyone has had any success printing cards with a LaserJet. I am finding that the printed text is not adhering to the card and tends to flake off. I have two types of QSL cards -- one glossy finish and the other a more normal card stock type finish. Both seem to have the same problem. I can print the QSL on to regular copy paper and the text adheres just fine. So I am thinking it has something to do with the thickness of the card stock that does not allow the card to roll through the printer evenly enough to get a good heat seal on the toner. I may have to revert to printing out sheets of labels in the LaserJet. BTW, I have noticed that the labels that I printed from the Dymo Label printer tend to fade over several years time. Thus, I do not want to go back to the Dymo printer. I need to find something that printers more permanently. I was hoping the my LaserJet might do that directly on the card stock. But so far no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
