Better and better  Time owned: more than 12 months
Beleive it or not, I already ran out of cards since the previous review. The Reorder process consisted of sending Geoff an E-mail saying "Send more." They were here faster than ever. FDS must be improving with age!

Reprint service GREAT also!!  Time owned: more than 12 months
I wrote a review of FDS a year ago. I was super happy with the cards and service then and still am. Recently I ordered New cards. I wanted the same card as before, but with a new address. It couldn't be easier ( or cheaper ) Geoff had my old card on file, changed the address and shipped them off super quick all for the low low reprint price even though changes had to be made. Quality is great (again)! I hope FDS stays around for several hundred years so I will never have to deal with a differnt printer.

Super Service & Ham-friendly  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
You won't find anyone in the print business that's more ham-savvy that Geoff G8RCZ of FDS Graphics. While I am delaying my order for a few months (for budget-timing reasons), it certainly isn't because the quoted price isn't right. In fact, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better price in US$ that includes full-color printing on glossy stock, custom artwork, and forms printed on the back. Even shipping from the UK to the US is included in the price! Geoff answered all my queries promptly via e-mail, and gave me some good hints for my file-based artwork. Fantastic!

Professional and fair price  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
In my case , the design time was a little long ;
but absolutely normal in the holiday period.
With fair quality pictures , Geoff was able to make me a very good-looking QSL card.He was very patient and courteous.The price is competitive even with the AirMail shipping from the UK.
I recommend this one !

Awesome!  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I designed my QSL in Photoshop, e-mailed the file to FDS and within two weeks or my approval, the cards arrived and are magnificent. Geoff does great work and a better price cannot be found.

Great!  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
Worked with me to design specialty card. Traded designs about 6-8 times via email until I was satisfied then BOOM! had the cards in 2 weeks. Highly recommend.

Beautiful QSLs - Great & Fast Sevice!!!  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
The QSLs arrived today,(12/21) by FedEx from the U.K., I couldn't beleive it, in the middle of the Holiday rush.

I contacted Geoff three weeks ago by e-mail, he promptly responded. I explained to him what I wanted and let him be my guide. Geoff is very creative and a "master of his craft". He sent me proofs which depicted what I had asked him for.

The QSLs are beautiful, great design and stock.

Geoff produces a product that makes you proud of your callsign and a pleasure to QSL other hams.

Quality service, design, and final product  Time owned: months
It is hard to find a custom, full color QSL card printer that takes orders for less than 1000 cards! I researched lots of different printers, and found FDS Graphics.

I ordered only 250 cards from Geoff for a group operation during the 2002 California QSO Party. The card was not an easy design, as I wanted two photos on the front of the card and a grayscale photo on the back with a custom text layout. He did an outstanding job transforming my original
design into a terrific QSL card. I was completely blown away! I did not expect him to spend much time with such a small order, but he clearly takes pride in his work. He e-mailed me upon receipt of my order, e-mailed the proofs, changed something on the back side per my request, e-mailed the proofs again, and then printed and mailed the cards. By the time I received the cards, this whole process only took about one month! The cards in printed form turned out great.

I will definitely go to Geoff for any future QSL card, and recommend him without hesitation.
