Awesome, custom QSL Card design Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
When I first got my ham radio license last year, I had a goal to get a custom QSL card design after I got my extra class license and my vanity call sign. When I first contacted Jeff K1NSS, I had been thinking of what design I wanted to use on my card for a couple of months. The hardest part of any custom QSL card design is deciding on what you want on your card. I thought I had it perfect. To say I am happy with the final QSL card design would be an understatement. The final QSL card design exceeded all the expectations I had for the project. After a couple emails with Jeff, the design took on a life of its own. Jeff incorporated my ideas for the card, added his own ideas, and together we got a design that is awesome. I highly recommend Jeff for any custom, high quality QSL card design.

Awesome Artist and Fellow Radio Amateur Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Jeff K1NSS offers his creative and technical talents to fellow hams creating stunning custom QSL designs.

My project was complex, with Jeff designing Fronts and Backs for three main QSL cards, doing a club variation of the Island card, then doing Eyeball-QSO cards for each.

Working with Jeff couldn't be easier. His insight into people, our shared hobby and his creative nature brought out initial concepts that polished up into designs that I'll be pleased to see printed and mailed out.

As I use GlobalQSL for much of my outbound DX QSL traffic, Jeff even touched base with them to make sure I would have compatible file types to use their service.

Oh, everyone wants to know about costs - and I must share that Jeff's rates are very cost effective and more than fair. In the end I was worried that Jeff simply undercharged me rather than telling me about all the hours used on my project. Jeff assures me that the hours were what they were, but I'll still insist on buying if we ever meet in a pub somewhere!

What do you get? In the end you get lots of files, some intended for web use, some for the printer and some to store for any future tweaks. And then Jeff K1NSS sends you a signed photo grade proof - which mine will end up framed in my shack.

Did I mention I asked Jeff to to coordinated custom backs for my cards? Really makes these designs complete!

Highly recommended!

Tremendous work/ reasonable rates Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
You are simply not going to find a better, easier person to work with than Jeff, K1NSS. He puts in innumerable hours creating "just the right design" to translate a concept to a reality, and will continue to work with you as your vision evolves. In this day of cookie-cutter solutions, to be able to find a true custom design at a very reasonable rate is a rare commodity. HIGHLY recommended!

Outstanding results Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Wow! What a great experience in so many ways. Jeff is very creative, easy to work with, and creates a truly individualized QSL card. I am amazed that we went from nothing to the finished product in very little time. Jeff responds quickly to any request and gently guides you in the best direction to provide a work of art. You will be very proud to send these cards and the recipients will be happy to get them.

A QSL to die for! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Jeff is wonderful to work with. I came up with the original concept and sent him a couple of snapshots, a couple of back and forth emails and bam, a KILLER QSL design! If you want a one-of-a-kind custom QSL design, this is the way to go!

Look me up on QRZ to see mine. http://www.qrz.com/db/N4TZH

Highly Recommended Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Jeff is a fantastic and friendly graphic artist who went way beyond my expectations. Just a fantastic artist - and now friend. I will have him do logos and other goodies for my club, DX-peditions, etc.

Been Looking for This! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Been looking for a unique qsl card design for years not quite sure what I wanted but upon speaking to Jeff and communicating some of my idea's within 24 hours not only did I have a sketch but the finished product! The second surprise was the cost. Jeff is very reasonable and the total cost start to finish was $75. You can see my design either on his website or on qrz under n4dsp on the upper right corner.

My only dissatisfaction is the process from start to finish ended so quickly because I really enjoyed working with Jeff and wish it lasted longer!

Thanks Jeff!

Great service and design Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I recently had Jeff, K1NSS, design my QSL card. Jeff is very fast with the design and communication. The previous reviews say it all. I have a one of a kind card that didn't come out of a database of images. I couldn't have asked for better. The price is right.

Outstanding Graphic Artist !! Outstanding Work and Service ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I am extraordinarily impressed by the work of Jeff, K1NSS on my QSL card design. His designs are Outstanding and he is very easy to work with. I contacted Jeff after reviewing his website dashtoons.com. I gave him a list of my interest and a few ideas and photos. He had a sketch and a great theme ready for my review within a few hours. He was very responsive and diligent on our project, making several brilliant artistic additions as he progressed through the design.

The communication was excellent and the work was done very efficiently, with the final product within 3 days. I was very impressed with the courtesy and manner in which Jeff performs his excellent work. I am overwhelmed by the quality of my final product. The rates he charges are on the low side I believe, as someone mentioned before. This is an excellent design product and I encourage anyone wanting a personal , high quality , unique QSL card design to check his website and give him a shout. You will be very impressed !!
