do you use each address on a regular basis? why not print a set of 8 for each address ?

hi, ive just done this at my local printers

they were well good and its such a good idea, they have layouts on the computer and they printed me out a proof, then they photocopy printed each sheet on to the labe sheets

i got 2500 labels done for £11

 :o bargain if you ask me and will last me years

yeah I know the R8 is much nicer, but the nicest car I have ever been in was a Ferarri Testarossa at 140mph !!!! on public roads in Italy. It wasnt mine but I was sat on my dads knee ( without a seatbelt :o ) when I was 6 years old, it was amazing, the acceleration was stunning, Luke

You can use microsoft office programs. You need to know how to use the mail merge function. (Assuming you have the addresses on your computer already.)

Buy a dymo label writer excellent piece of kit. About 130 pounds but well worth it

yes - i think i have seen label printers on ebay that dont use ink- they kindof burn the address on ? would be a good idea.

The Dymo does not require ink. You can print one single label or highlight a few from your database and print them for invoicing. You can also build up a database like I have done and put in different groups eg: Architechts, solicitors or whatever and print labels for a mailshot.
It took me a while to buy it because of the price, but its one of them things that will save you alot of time and you can deign your own logo onto the address label and gives your post a professional image

Highly recommended

Cheers
