A question regarding previous callsigns. I am going to enter my logs from my previous call so I can upload them to LOTW. These contacts still count for my overall DXCC records, so should I create a group for that call or is there another way of doing this. Thanks in advance. Pete, VE7CV

Sounds pretty much like what I am doing now with the same kinds of problems. One thing I do to make life easier is I print up to 5 QSOs per card in large print on the plain reverse of the card, that way I avoid tight registration issues. John Shaw wrote: > I print QSO information directly on pr

Let me add a caution to all considering a printer purchase, either to print QSL's or for the more usual purposes. While a well-designed modern printer can last for many years, the manufacturer may support it (i.e. provide specific drivers for current operating system versions) for only a few, e

I have a HP 5150 which was one of the cheapest when i bought it 5 years ago. It printed 5000 cards in 1-2 days (for a special call for Olympic Games in 2004). It accepts more than 50 cards at once. I don't think that someone can find it new. I have tried also canon mx300. This is 1 year old and

I print QSO information directly on pre printed QSL cards using a HP Photosmart C7100. It has a small tray especially for printing photos. I can load 20 cards a time in there. I print directly from DX4WIN, it took a bit of mucking around as the card size is not supported so I just use the neares

So use labels from Staples until you use up your stock on hand. There is a cost to buy labels, but then "print your own" QSL cards on virgin stock sucks up a LOT of expensive printer ink. "Where's the trade off?" would be my question. My HP Officejet Pro K550's paper tray holds about 90 of m

I have a few thousand pre-printed cards to use up also. I do print them with my Brother... but the tray only holds about 25 cards at a time... a real pain if you are printing 1500 like the last batch I did. Frankly, I prefer LotW ;-) Wayne King wrote: > Well I have 3500 cards I need to get rid

Well I have 3500 cards I need to get rid of before I start to think about card stock. So I was hoping someone had used pre-printed cards with their printer. Looks like most are going with card stock. I wish I would of thought of that before I ordered cards. Wayne N2WK - Original Message ---

Mel: Are you asking about printing the entire QSL card from blank stock, or printing data into pre-printed boxes on the front or back of a pre-printed QSL card? I can do it easily fill in the boxes on my HP Officejet Pro K550 printer. The paper tray easily adjusts to hold and feed the pre-prin

Interesting question. I tried with by Brother ink-jet, but I had to fabricate cardboard spacers to make the tray small enough for individial QSL cards... pretty kludgy... it would be a lot easier if you are printing 4 per sheet but that introduces other issues. I found that most printers are NO
