I used post card sized invites, which is fairly thick paper. I rolled them tightly and fixed them with the twist ties that come around the original invitations. You could still see all of the other stuff in the bottle.

This printer doesn't do very well with envelopes. You can try the bypass tray, but in my experience it will jam every time. Your best bet is to adjust the paper tray to envelope size, load in 6-10 envelopes, flap side up and to the left. Mine still jams really frequently, expect to ruin 2 envelopes for every one you get to print correctly. Envelopes that print "correctly" still come out slightly crumpled.

Honestly, as good as this printer is for large-format photographs I think it would be overkill for things like invitations. It is optimized for very subtle color gradation using multiple ink tanks for use with specialty photo papers, something that would not be appreciated on the kind of card stock that invitations are printed on. Using so many ink tanks make it relatively costly to use compared to a more suitable printer. While I couldn't recommend a particular brand or model without seeing what you're printing and what quantity you have in mind, 4 ink tanks is enough to create excellent color for graphics/photos printed on card stock. Look for a printer with very large ink tanks (the manufacturers publish how many milliliters of ink are in their tanks). Amazon has a "top-rated/best-seller" feature for inkjet printers, it's a good starting point.

Yes, definitely. You will have to carefully configure your printing application.

I got mine printed at a local printery. If you have a decent printer it can work. The paper is thicker than the regular office printing paper, but it's not heavy. Take it from me you will not regret it. I used mine at my wedding for my programs & everyone loved them.

I used printer paper, and it worked fine! Just fine tune your "Ironing time" depending on how hot your iron gets. Seems all Irons are different! Good Luck with your Project

Hi,Most printers can handle this paper. My printer is an HP 1020 and I always have used it with excellent results. If you check into the HP web site it may give you better information.John

Hey FlamingoNut, this was bought as a gift so I am not familiar with the paper details or printer requirements.

I can not guarantee how color images will come out on this paper. It will depend on the printer. Feel free to message us to get a sample to test print. Thanks

Really is not for cards invitations purposes, is a photographic paper not to be folded, is thick but I'll not recommended for cards.

No answer, just want to concur. The printer claims it can handle cardstock by offering a paper setting in its printer manager software for cardstock but it always jams when trying to feed it from the tray.

Greetings - It's the extra paper tray. Likely not worth it...unless you have a glaring need to print different paper sizes and/or high volume.

Am not able to get Printshop ProPublisher 23 Deluxe to print half fold greeting card envelopes. Also having problems with number of copies ordered. Usually prints far more than I ask for.

Hello! We do not print them here. These are DIY invitations that you print yourself, with free templates.

I have printed postage on the envelopes using a Neopost postage machine and had no problems. The postmark came out crisp, clear and did not smudge. I cannot recall if I ever printed the address using my HP printer. Since the ink from postage was fine, I would bet that the HP printer would do just fine.
