How do you do it?
Do you need a program/software?
Will any printer be able to print envelopes?

I use an HP deskjet 843C, cheap and simple to use and i think you should be able to pick one up on ebay reasonably cheap

Most printers have a section were you can print in lots of different modes, have a look under your printer options, scroll the list and pick envelopes.
You do not need seperate software or programs.

never thought on that jeff
Will have a look now.
cheers

What I do clear vision, is buy A4 sticky back, print off as labels times six and then cut them up and stick on envelopes.
Hope that makes sence.

You can buy standard Avery address lables. Your printer can handle these,no problem. I think there's 16 to each A4 sheet. Just peel them off and stick em on. Dai

Thanks for advice.
I got 3 printed but every time you print 1 envelope you have to adjust all the settings >:( And the envelopes keep getting stuck!
I like the idea of the a4 sticky labels!!!
Can I buy them from tesco?
I want to get this sorted out tonight. Once I start something I don't like stopping till it's sorted!

You could however go the other way and use window envelopes then you just have to ensure the address is in the right place on the letter, then you never have to adjust your printer settings

Clear Vision,
I use Pageplus, google for it; it's a free download and it's excellent for stationery and printing envelopes; no problem.
Like anything, it takes a bit of time to learn to use it, but it's blinding.
-
Most computers come with Microsoft Office.
If you look in there they have a section for printing different types of envelopes
-
Most computers don't come with micro office, mine cost about £400. and that was 2003 not 2007.But I think he means the works suite, which probably does have something in it.
The reason I said a4 sticky back and not avery was you do not have to line up get the distances right. You could even bodge it in word just by puting your address however many times you want and then cutting it up after. The avery ones are fixed distances and your print could over run the space.
-
Would these do?
Just saw them on ebay!

I couldn't find the A4 sticky sheets where you cut them your self?

Hehe talk about making an easy job hard ;D
We used to do all that stuff.
In the end we got a stamp made up with our name and address on so now we just stamp up 500 at a time. ;D
-
If you have microsoft word its easy just open up a blank document go to page set up and click print options and you can pick your size of paper there i use DL as i buy DL envelopes.
Stick your name and address on there and print away

Just order a ready made self inking stamp with your address on from Staples for your SAE's for your customers.
-
I've been thinking about one of those to stamp the number on the back of the cheques i recieve.
I use one to stamp reciepts in another business, but I find the writing a bit small, is the one you've got big enough for an address? Most posties are dyslexic.
-
Rubber stamp are very cheap compared to the cost of ink cartridges. Also the ink is waterproof which is a big consideration. A few spots of rain or wet hands and your computer printed envelope is a mass of smears.
-
We use small (50mm wide) pre printed address labels from Able Labels that are a roll and so easy to put on the envelope. Gives a better appearance than an ink stamp
-
Has anyone sourced a printing company that do addresed envelopes at very competetive prices
-
The best program for this is Microsoft Publisher. I use this for envelopes which I have my logo on and I use it for letterheads and business cards too. Its great.
