Even more tangental but still in this thread. I have tried running single
cards through my Lexmark Z51, and with a little luck and getting all the
formatting right, you CAN print on already blank cards like INWO blanks. Your
printer does have to support paper down to playing-card sized -- my old HP 660C
would go 4x6 index card and no lower.
