Hi,

If you downloaded the eQSL picture with the links : display, then Printable 4x6 (A6) format, your picture should have approximately the right size, ratio, 528 x 336 pixels to print on a 4 x 6 card with some adjustments.

All eQSLs are designed to print in 3.5 x 5.5 inch (90mm x 140mm) size

How to set your printer ? hard to say, it all depends on the make/brand. Personnally, I print with white margins.

A few usefull hints in the old FAQ :

How can I print eQSLs on my 4x6 (A6) postcard printer? After you have clicked the "Display" button from your InBox or Archive, there is a link at the bottom of the popup window below the eQSL graphic that will give you a "4x6 (A6) Printable Format". The printable format eQSL will appear in that same window, but without all of the text below the card graphic. Click the PRINT button on your browser's toolbar, and then set the "preferences" for your printer.
Normally, you will specify a high quality paper such as "Canon Photo Paper Pro" or equivalent. Select the "4 x 6" or "A6" or "Postcard" format, and use "Landscape" mode. Place the paper into the printer vertically oriented. If you can perform a "Print Preview" before printing, do that the first time, so you can see that the card will appear in the correct dimensions on the paper. You may need to play with the margins to get the card centered perfectly.

We use the Canon i850, i950, and PIXMA ip4000 printer here at eQSL.cc, and can give you specific advice on papers and settings for that printer, if you need it. You should be able to use Epson, HP, and other printers as well. The card will have a border line drawn around it with 3.5 inch by 5.5 inch dimensions, in case you need to trim the paper to make the card fit into popular QSL card holders. We are working on a modification to allow you to print QSO details on the back side of the card. See "Site News" for details when this is ready.
