QSL Maker Alternative

I tried out that QSL card maker. It's super easy to use and the results are good. But...it saves them in pdf format. That means my printer can print them out on card stock or 3 1/2 x 5/4 x 6 photo paper, but it eats up ink. Yes, you can print out an 8 x 10 with 4 cards on it. A drawback is that cheap photo printers such as at Sam's Club or Wal Mart can't read a pdf file.

After experimenting and seeing my ink gauge plummet downward, I elected to get them from cheapqsls.com. First rate service, proof emailed to you, and fast delivery. Basic black on white stock is $10 plus a couple of dollars shipping for 100. If I remember, you can upgrade the stock to color. For around $23 or so, you can use clip art and photos, with color paper, etc.

Yeah, I wanted a cool multi-colored QSL card, with a photo, but the entire cost was about $15 for 100...not a bad deal...at least for now.

I'm very impressed with their service, and will definitely be a repeat customer.
