Hi Ed,

As Dave in another message noted, double check your printer settings, but
also double check the 'print job' in the DxBase card template as each job
can have its own printer set-up. DxB will automatically scale for you as I
use a couple of my templates for both QSL cards and 'eye-ball' cards and the
final card scales quite nicely, both up and down in sizes.

Personally I prefer to print single QSL cards. My reasoning is if I get a
direct request via mail I need only print the one card directly from DxB and
not wait until I have 4 QSL requests in the queue. I do print the 'eye-ball'
cards 10 at a time per page.

For the QSL cards, I buy 120 lb coated one-side stock from a local print
shop and have them pre-cut the stock to 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 postcard size in their
power shears. This way, I don't have to muss with cutting and dull blades in
my cutting mat.

HNY,
Eric - VE3GSI
