    The prints of that printer fade out over not a long period of time...

    I have been using a thermal printer for the address labels for years, but using them for the actual QSL data? Completely stupid idea. As PG2W said, they will fade fairly quickly.

    My cards are laid out so I can just cut a strip from a laser-printed copy of my log book and attach it with an overlay strip of good 3M tape. I think their book repair tape is best. The thermal printer is for addresses only.

    Does it really take that long to fill a qsl out by hand and thank them for the qso and sign your name/call for a minimal personal touch? Then print the address label.

    That is what I do. I handwrite a short note on everyone I send out.

    Same here. Every card I send out gets at least a short note.

    It is not about the QSL cards these days, but the cost of postage. My days of sending QSL cards are over. I have settled into my niche for ham radio anyways. I am not a DX paper chaser. I do not do contests. I do not do nets. I have good old fashioned rag chewing on 80 meters. When it is done, I turn off the radio and do something else.
