I wonder if a suggestion is available for a cheap, say £50 usb or wireless mini printer that will allow me to print onto a Rolodex card.

I have set up the document so that the paper is 10.2 cm x 6.6 cm.

The Kodak 5250 and Brother 2030 cannot handle this sort of size. I tried sticking the Rolodex card to A4 paper but the printers whinge.

I live in the UK

USB business card printers are mental at £1200!

Thanks for your advice

Are you trying to make a custom rolodex for your business (promotion to send to clients) or just organizing your address book?

if the former, I'd look into BlanksUSA or Avery for 3up rolodex cards you can print on a regular printer. They are usually die cut so you punch out the card after.

If the latter, why not just print out your addresses 12up on letter paper, cut up, and then staple to rolodex cards?

Thanks andi*pandi

I am using a Rolodex as a quick access flash card system for my cardiology and neurosurgery revision, so short phrases and mini diagrams will be printed out.

Does that give any better ideas?

You could still go the blanksUSA route and print them 2 or 4up, depending on your roladex type. Looks like they've even got nice templates now!

Blanks USA - Roll-A-Index

doesn't look like avery has big sheets though.
