In Greeting Card Envelope Hell

[Brad2511]

I have had the most difficult time finding a printer that can print greeting card envelopes. I'm talking about Office Depot type greeting card envelopes (half fold and 1/4 fold paper for the envelopes). I have a Brother MFC-5860CN and I can't tell you the number of envelopes I have ruined trying to get the damn envelopes to print on my Brother printer. If they don't get jammed in my printer I get blotches of ink all over the front of the envelope as well as the envelope comes out crooked. I had an Epson Stylus C82 printer that worked perfectly and late last year it died so now I'm living in envelope hell.

I'm looking for a cheap printer so I can print greeting card envelopes and I don't know which printer to even look at. I contacted Brother and advised them of my problem printing greeting card envelopes and the lady told me, "that's because your printer only prints #10 envelopes. Read your manual." With that attitude I will never buy another Brother product. I went looking for help and got sarcasm, just what I needed. I figured I could print on any envelope, within reason of course. Any help you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Brad

My Pixma MP600 does a good job on greeting card envelopes. I don't get any smearing or skewing.

Most even new GelSprinter series needs additional feeder so you could put something more than 105 g/m how pathetic is that?

I new not all printers can print on thick media but normal plain paper is 80gsm and it can feed only 105max???

Perhaps you have a similar problem. These feeders are expensive as used to be in the old days when you needed them because printers were sold without them. But now I can't believe a company has that attitude.
