First I suggest using LOTW...
I run a program called QSLMaker which automatically creates images of QSL
Cards on my computer... I upload the images to Costco...
They print them as Photos www.ky6la.com so everyone gets a personalized QSL
Card and then I just mail them or ship them to the bureau....
Costs $0.17 per Individual QSL Photo Card.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Sending LOTS of bureau QSL's - recommendations?
Good day, everyone:
I am drowning in bureau QSL cards! :-) I think the answer to
this is going to be automatically QSL'ing all of the DX stations
I work. Does anyone have recommendations how to
use to manage this and where to get the printing done? I
contacted a local printer we use at work but they can't deal
with varying copy.
My goal is to minimize the amount of time I need to devote to
managing the QSL's. Peeling thousands of labels or trying to
print thousands of QSL cards on my home printer are not very
appealing prospects. I need to manage multiple callsigns and
locations.
I have read Jim Reisert's excellent article on managing the KC1XX
QSL cards (http://www.ad1c.com/HamRadio/kc1xx_qsl.htm). I have
also fiddled with the BV program, which is very impressive.
I'm sure it will take a lot of work to set up a system and I'd
like to only do that once!
Are any of you "pre-emptively" QSL'ing a large number of contacts?
How do you do it? Do you have any advice on how to approach it?
Thanks in advance for your advice and help!
73,
Mark, KD4D
