[Logic] QSL Card Stock - Hundreds to choose from, QSL Reports, and TIPS

[K1UQ]

STOCK SUPPLIERS:
Here's a much larger supplier with HUNDREDS of preprinted designs  (that's
what I use for my "World" QSL card and a few others) - www.paperdirect.com.

I have also bought stock at computer shows - keep an eye out & you can get
super $$$ deals on blank stock as well as stock w/designs.


USING PRE-PRINTED STOCK:
Using Pre-printed designs means all YOU have to print is your call, the QSO
data, etc. which can be done w/ Black Laser or Ink Jet.  This yields high
through-put as you are not waiting for a color printer to print the color
design.  If you have a high speed color printer, then go for the plain
stock.

I use a mixture of plain stock and pre-printed stock for the different type
cards I create and send.

MULTI-QSO LAYOUT WITH NO ADDRESSING ON ENVELOPES NEEDED:
For example, one such stock has 3 cards per 8.5 x 11 inch sheet.  The cards
are 8.5 inches wide by 3.6 inches tall, so these fit very nicely in a
standard number 10 envelope.  Using a double-windowed envelope means you can
create your report (QSL layout) with return address and destination address
right on the QSL card -  think of it... NO printing destination or return
address on envelope... NO need to do mailing labels... NO need to stick a
return address on envelope.   This is a ONE step print operation (two if you
print a design on reverse of QSL card) that applies QSO data, return
address, and destination address all at same time.  Put your QSL in the #10,
maybe add a return SASE #9 (which is made to fit in a #10), and apply a
self-stick stamp.  TIP - get the self stick stamps in a coil and use a
dispenser - makes even applying stamps a breeze!
