Hi,
I have read other topics on printing eQSL. My query is slightly different.
I want to down load the e QSL and print four per A4 sheet of glossy printing paper.

I use the tab to make the e QSL printable in JPG format but once it is saved the JPG format has disappeared. ( maybe this is to stop you manipulating the card?!!).
How can I save the format JPG to my computer?

Richard G0ILN.

Hi Richard G0ILN.
Don't know if this helps.
Go into your Profile scroll down to Advanced Features and tick the "Display all eQSLs in JPG format instead of PNG".

Hi Haz,
Yes I had ticked the JPG box. The download says JPG but when it arrives in a file the icon is of a blank page.
I have tried downloading the standard image and also the printable image with the same result.

I have tried printing direct to my printer and although it is in colour it will not centre on my 6" X4" print paper and I can't find anything in my print setup to sort the problem.
Still in the way of the world it is a minor inconvenience!

Here is a copy of the FAQ on printing.

"After you display the eQSL you want to print, click on the hyperlink that says Printable 4x6 (A6) Format. That will remove everything from the page except the eQSL graphic. Change the Page Setup to remove all headers and footers and make the margins a small equal amount (we use 0.5 in) all around. In Printer Setup, we select high quality glossy paper, 4x6 (10x15cm) postcard format. After experimenting with the Printer Properties settings, you can save these as a Profile if you use Windows and re-use that profile for all your eQSL printing. We print about 400-500 eQSLs every month. It works!"

If you want to print 4 eQSLs on the same page you are going to have to use a graphic editor to manipulate the .JPG files.

Please contact eQSL support if you require more support regarding this matter.
