[Logic] what's a good printer for printing directly on qsl's?

[Carl Smidt]

I think that the 'Hamstuff' card stock produces an excellent card, but "to
each his own". I am not looking for photographic excellence when I request
QSL cards, only QSO confirmation. To have four QSL cards printed on a single
sheet is great and creating your own graphics for the card is fun. My
opinion, for what it is worth.
