I've used techniques I found in the community to create a reach text field that shows an image of a QR Code. It looks perfect, every record has it's own unique QR code. Now I am stuck - how to I physically print these out? I was trying to figure out how to possibly use mail merge in word, so I could put them on say Avery labels? 

I know I could cheat by taking a screen shot, saving as an image, and printing, but that obviously isnt a real solution (I have 500+ to print). How have people gone about printing?

    Great Demo App here from Juiced for either a native or a Juiced EF+ solution.

      Mike,

      One of the issues I had with QR codes from Quickbase is that the URL is often super long, which means that the QR code has to be relatively large on the paper to fit all the information in a way that the camera can read it (forget a 150x150 code - too small!). I figured out how to use the API with TinyURL to get a much shorter URL for the long Quickbase ones, which lets me print smaller QR codes. TinyURL's free plan lets you do 600 URLs per month and their paid plans don't cost that much.

      If you need to shrink the size of your URLs, let me know and I can walk you through the TinyURL API.
