[Dxbase] Printing QSL Info Directly on the Card

Mon Dec 18 23:07:29 EST 2006

Thanks to Bill, Joe and Jim for their timely responses.
I like the idea of scanning in a card as a BMP and them using that as 
a starting template. I haven't much played with the label-making 
capabilities within DXBase, yet, even though I've been a user for, 
oh, about <mumble>2003. Having kids, job responsibility expansion, 
wife with dynamic career, building a new QTH... All the usual excuses.
I'll begin my tinkering and see what happens.
My printer is a Canon iP4000 and it handles all manner of card stock 
(some pretty heavy) without trouble. It should handle my QSLs with aplomb.
Thanks again!
