I use an Epson C80 to print directly onto my appr. 3/6 qsl cards. It prints the qso info into a box on the card. Looks just like a label format, just prints directly onto the card. I have no problems with feed.
I also print the entire qsl card with qsl info for stations I manage. I just purchased some glossy card stock at Officemax and had them cut it into 3/5 size. These also feed properly and the printer prints 1 qsl card (with qsl info) at a time. Again, no feeding problems. I also print addresses/return addresses directly onto Plum envelopes. Larger size for the mailer with a slightly smaller size that is for the return to me envelope. I also have a Lexmark laser, with a straight through feed. I am considering use that for my post contest bureau qsling. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Stordahl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "DXBase" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 7:24 PM Subject: [DXBase] Printing cards with ink jet printers?? > I don't have a ink jet printer, rather I print directly on the back of a > standard size QSL card using a HP 1200 laser printer.
