I had Octavia send me some sample QSL cards. They looked pretty good but 
one or two of them didn't look as good as I would have liked. It might have 
been due to the source of the image that was used to produce the sample. 
The delivery time seems a little long but the price is the best I have seen 
for custom full colour cards.

I am in need of new cards. I want a card with full colour front and 
grayscale photograph on the back and am willing to pay a little more to get 
a high quality card.

Looking at the cards from Octavia I wasn't certain that they could produce 
what I wanted. I also wasn't certain they could print a picture on the back 
of the card. I started looking around for other QSL card printers. I had 
hoped to find one I could use here in Canada. I haven't found one yet.

My search did lead me to a company in England calld fds Graphics 
(http://www.fds-graphics.com/). My collection of QSL cards includes a few 
cards printed by fds Graphics. It was one or two of these cards I had 
received and the sample pictures on their web site which make me feel they 
will be the company to print my next batch of cards. I am just about to 
order some of their Jubilee cards. These will keep me going until I have 
the final pictures I want for my double sided full colour custom card.


Cheers!
