Ed, I am also VERY interested in printing directly to cards - and in fact am prepared to re-design my cards to accommodate the output peculiarities of DX4Win. But, also like you, have not figured out how to do this yet.
Furthermore, I have determined that my HP Laser printer does not like "standard US" (5 1/2" by 3 1/4") QSL card sizes - the feeding mechanisms will not pass them. The smallest paper I can reliably feed through my envelope tray (which is how I have assumed I would be feeding cards...) is about the size of a "Number 6 3/4" envelope (6 1/2" by 3 5/8"). But, if I can avoid this ugly intermediate step of printing to labels and then transferring labels to cards, I will also order slightly-larger QSL card stock when I order the design that DX4WIN will print on. The bottom line is: if you need a buddy or a committee member or whatever as you figure out how to do this... let me know. FINALLY: regarding printing to labels within a sheet - DX4WIN includes a very handy feature when you print labels, titled "missing labels". If you have a sheet of 30 5160 labels, and you have already used 12, indicate that there are "12 missing labels" and DX4WIN will begin printing at position 13 on the label stock. Without a doubt, DX4WIN does a great job when you want to print labels... but not such a good job when you don't ;-( -larry K8UT ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Himwich N3HXQ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Dx4win" <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 10:08 AM Subject: [Dx4win] death to labels > I am interested in printing directly on QSL cards to avoid the use of labels > as much as possible.
