Is this printer capable of printing on envelopes? What is the thickest paper you can put in there?

It has several envelope sizes listed..I do not use this printer for that... The thing is-- it has only one tray. so, you can not stock envelopes in one tray and paper in another. As far as paper thickness.. it lists card stock as an option.. I have not tried that.. If you want me too, I can stop and do that.

The quickest way to ruin a printer is to print on envelopes. That's what labels are for. Just don't do it.

I don't know about envelopes, but you can run 48lb card stock through it, because we've done so.

Yes, this printer can handle envelopes. HP states that the tray capacity is 30 envelopes. Weight of media is recommended to handle 16 to 28 lb bond paper but is rated for 9 to 66 lb bond. Thickness is stated is 11.5 mil for card stock and 15.7 mil for envelopes. I don't normally use this printer for anything but 11x17 CAD drawings on 20 lb bond. In my home office I also have an HP 6700 OfficeJet (All-in-one) that I use for envelopes, cards, brochures, pictures, and the like. I chose the 6700 & 7110 printers because they both print exceptionally well, they both use the same high-capacity color cartridges (932xl & 933xl), and between the two they have served every document need of my home office.

Yes, it prints envelopes. I print about 80 envelopes every other month for a newsletter for a non-profit organization. I use Open Office, creating a data base with all the members, and then am able to print envelopes with a return address and the members address. You can only fit about 10-12 envelopes at a time in the tray, and I have had the flap on the envelopes cause a paper jam. It sure beats buying Avery labels and printing and sticking them to the envelopes.

I have never tried that application. However, I am extremely satisfied with this printer and can't see why the heavier paper would pose a problem.

I have this printer and see no "thick paper" option. Can you please tell me where to find this?

Hi, This is Gene, and to answer your question, yes you can print envelopes on the C-88 Epson.

It can print envelopes. But if u are just going to use black, I think it's better to get a laserjet.

Hi, Regarding printing for envelopes works great has a special slot in the back of the printer for inserting envelopes. They print extremely fast especially in black and white.

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.

I haven't experienced this problem with heavier stock, per se, but I have had a problem with larger envelopes, specifically 6x9, which the printer apparently doesn't recognize as envelopes, and with labels when it doesn't know they're labels. This can be avoided by opening the printer Properties to the Printing Shortcuts tab and selecting "Envelope" or "Label" as the paper type.

Yes, I have printed quite a number of envelopes using this printer. You must adjust the two paddles on the feed tray to fit the width of the envelopes.

PS I too have had problems with printing the envelopes. They are heavy paper but if I lightly hold down the flap as it goes into the printer, that helps it accept it but if it doesn't, it will jam your printer.

NO you can't print on burlap or heavy paper. This printer is just a basic printer,I have 2 of them.

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.

The printer is not good for thicker cover weight paper. I tried 67# and it curled tighter than a tootsie roll, basically unusable. And the duplexer jammed every single time. The duplexer will not processes paper over standard weight. I'm disappointed. I'd appreciate recommendations of a printer that prints flat 2 sided on thicker paper.

Yes, it prints envelopes. I have easily and successfully printed standard size envelopes using Word running on a Mac. Printing custom sized Christmas card envelopes, however, was a bit tricky, but I was finally able to get it to work.
