Several roll ur own QSL card schemes at URL:

But if you use an inkjet printer and run high color density and print large
quantities -- you will go broke buying inkjet cartridges.
Tis OK for a few cards.

For large quantities, Tis a lot more economical to use QSL card printers at

I like Cheap QSL's ( good looking cards)

I did my own via some hand-coding in PostScript, sent 'em to a color
laserprinter, printed on the same sort of card stock, and chopped them
apart on a standard paper-cutter.

I've used Word or Word Perfect to make one master sheet consisting of
4 qsls on 8 1/2" x 11" landscape. I take that master to Office Max or
Office Depot where they can copy the master with a laser printer on
card stock and cut the cards as per your specs. You pay for the
amount of card stock you use. (I usually get 25 sheets @ 17
cents/sheet.) And you are charged one dollar for each cut they have to
make. (The cuts are made with a commercial paper cutter.)

I make my own using WordStar 6.0 running in a DOS box under OS/2.
Print'em on an HP LJ III printer.
Artwork? Luckily I live in a "rectangular" state. HI!HI!

But, I _do_ make'em specific for use. I.e, a stack of 6M cards, a
stack of 2M cards, a stack of OMISS Net cards, a stack of Mobile
cards, und so weiter...

Before I switched to Linux, I used Print Center Deluxe (aka Newsletters,
Brocures and More!) from Expert Software.

Now I just use GIMP or Open Office 1.1
