| 740326 | 2009-01-19 22:33:00 | Can anyone recommend the best printer for printing addresses onto envelopes. Im looking for a printer that is cheap, fast, doesnt jam and has a big tray for envelopes as I have a serious number to print. Have had good results from inkjets as opposed to laser but Im interested in hearing what people have to say on this.. Thanks! |

| 740330 | 2009-01-20 04:26:00 | thanks for your suggestions wratterus - Samsung ML-2010 looks ideal. Q: have you actually used this printer for printing on large numbers of envelopes? Im just asking as my research on the internet shows that whilst many printers claim to be able to print on envelopes few do it effectively without jamming up all of the time.. |

| 740331 | 2009-01-20 18:33:00 | Try to find one with a straight paper path. If the envelope has to come out of the tray and round some rollers and come out the other way up, there is much more chance of jamming long term. I used to sell photo copiers and this is known in the trade as a "straight paper path". But it usually means a dearer machine as it has to be a bit bigger ? My Brother HL 2040 has a round paper path. What about using labels, and then putting them on to the envelopes. That is what most people do. |

That is a good question - my parents have one (birthday pressie from yours truly). :D I know they use it for printing envelopes and apparently its great, but I don't know what volume they've been doing. Will find out for you. |

Using the wrong envelopes you can get creasing or glue/gum on rollers in your printer (which can cause jams and a big bill). With labels do a whole sheet at once. |

| 740334 | 2009-01-21 04:02:00 | printing labels is no problem - however no good if you need to print other stuff on the envelope (such as the NZ post mail permit, my logo, return address etc) I looked at printers from pitney bowes but at $14k for a simple inkjet with a large envelope feeder it is a bit expensive(!) |

| 740335 | 2009-01-21 08:04:00 | I print about 80-90 per month for one client. All printed to either my Epson R800 or my Epson R1900. I use Croxley E13 Self Seal White which I buy in packs of 500 from Warehouse stationary. I just have to keep feeding the stack at about 10 at a time and rarely have any jamb ups. |
