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

Sun, 31 Mar 2002 13:12:54 -0500

For printing Qsl cards I use a HP660c Deskjet printer. I have had
excellent
printing results once I got it setup. For paper I started using 4x6 plain
index
cards, which I get from the local office supply for 500 card for $5.00. I
used this
because I could fine a local source for the glossy stock used in regular
Qsl.

After printing I spray on some Krylon "Clear" spray paint to water proof
the
cards. Have tired the 'Hamstuff' card stock I plain to in the future.
Probably any good quality printer that can print down to a 4x5 index card
should
be able to print Qsl cards.
