Is this model also very accurate for letter envelopes, to check if additional postage is needed? The seller is suggesting I get a smaller model.

Ours seems to be accurate in the large and the smaller letter size weights too. Have had very good luck with it. Gary and Karyn

Hello, I think you may use it for letters (it called "Postal scale"); instruction get graduation: 0.1 oz/ 2 g. I use scale every day- it's work very,very good.

It measures in tenths of an ounce, so yes. I use it primarily for small packages and am very pleased with it.

I haven't had any issues with it for smaller envelopes. I send out bubble envelopes that weigh as small as 0.1 ounces and it's always been accurate. Anything smaller than that and it shouldn't matter to the USPS.

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.

It's not too small at all. I'm not sure what people are putting in there as it's a mail holder! It holds standard size envelopes perfectly and I also keep appointment notices in there and other papers I don't want to lose. You'll be happy; it's a total lifesaver for us! It's sturdy and looks GREAT on the wall, I absolutely love mine!

Mine didn't. My requirements aren't stringent (postal packages), so I just go with their cal. If you have a more stringent requirement, you should probably buy at least one other cal weight at the middle of the range you expect your specimens to fall. One more would give you a clue about linearity.

These are great envelopes but I would go with a little bigger size these 6 x 10 only have room that is 6 x 8 1/2 and are fine for small paperbacks but since the cost should be close to the same to mail I would suggest going a little larger.

It is standard envelope size, although it is not always easy to ensure that standard size envelopes drop. We are using a slightly smaller envelope.

I do not believe this unit required calibration. I checked it against some 1 to 4 oz letters I had and it registered correctly. I have used this for up to 13 oz, including flats, and have sent a lot of mail using it. So far, no issues. Good unit for the price.

No. These envelopes are very small. I had to return them because they were so small.

If you print envelopes a lot, like I do, I think it works well using the two-tray 8630 version. Here's how I did it. Plain Paper goes into tray two, envelopes in tray one (only place they are supported). Now, on the display choose your Default Tray as Tray 2 and Lock Tray 1. This will make sure regular print jobs go to plain paper in tray 2 and if it runs out of paper the printer won't automatically pull from tray 1 (that's what tray lock means). Now, via the Web Interface for the printer I told it that Tray 2 has plain letter size paper, and Tray 1 has my envelopes (you specify size there). Now, when I print an envelope it knows to pull from Tray 1 and everything else goes to Tray 2. On my Mac I've never had to tell it what tray to use, the printer just knows and pulls from the correct location. Your mileage may vary, etc.

Accuracy aligns well with another scale I bought from China for only $3.20, so I use the cheaper scale now.It is only called "Portable Electronic Scale" & is 3.25x2 inches & has a dark blue case. A friend also uses it in his bike shop. Works fine.Units of read out on the cheaper one are lbs., ozs., kg., & "JIN" ? It weighs to 88 lbs (40 kilograms) I guess for the luggage limit. It amazes me how many cheap things I buy from China directly that are of quality and work great. Shipping is always included (yes at $3.20!) and usually takes about 10 days, maybe 2 weeks.

I have not printed envelopes on this model as yet but tray 2 under the machine can be set to hold the envelopes in the middle of the tray & since it appears to work in a similar manner to my former 3500a officejet I have no doubt it will work. So far I have done letter (single & double sided), legal (single & double sided) using tray 1 with has a side entry, as well as booklet using legal paper in tray 1. All printed without any issues & with a speed I used to just dream about. The 3500a was fast at over 30ppm but it slowed down a lot when doing double sided & could only do double sided with letter paper. This printer slows very little when you consider each sheet is 2 pages & does a great job. Since the envelopes are a single sided process I will have to test that just to find out but I suspect they will print at nearly full speed as well. I also just purchased the $129 5 cartridge ink set from the other estore & have just run a few test sheets with the black cartridge, much larger than the startup cartridge included with the printer, & there seems to be no issues there, so far. Time will tell but the price is worth the test. All in all, at this time, I couldn't be happier with this printer & its performance. I paid $300 for the 3500a about 5 years ago & printed many times the pages recommended & have now paid, it finally failed, the same for this printer so am looking forward to at least 5 years of great performance.

We got the small size mailbox and it fits perfectly. I think I remember reading that it only accepted the small box.

Yes. It's accurate to 0.05 ounces (about 1.5 grams) so really small amounts. I have used it for mail also!

Yes, the priority mail envelopes that you're referring to are what I use the majority of the time. I've never had an issue with the labels not sticking, even when I have an irregularly shaped item in the envelope.

It does do envelopes, in fact better than packages. I often give up on packages and weigh them on a good "people scale" that goes down to the eighth of a pound. I would say it works okay, not a 5-star machine.

Fairly well. You can put up to three at a time into the manual feed slot (not shown in the Amazon product photo, it's right above the normal paper tray), then just print as normal and the printer will automatically pull the envelopes from the manual feed slot. I wish it were able to hold more than three envelopes at a time, but you could always take your 8.5x11" paper out and put envelopes in for larger jobs.

Yes, the postage will be same because it depends on how much weight it is.ThanksBest regards, Gigablockshop
