[DXBase] Printing cards with ink jet printers??

2003年2月27日 21:24:30 -0600

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.
