How well does this print #10 envelopes?
2014185
It prints them well in the multi feed tray. I have printed about 10 to 15 at a time.

I have not tired to print an envelope-Pictures are fantastic and other printing is great

The printer is very new to me, so I just tried 2 envelopes. While the printing was fine, both envelopes were "crinkled" at the left edge. They would be usable in the mail, but it is disappointing to see that they did not feed cleanly.

I cannot print any envelopes at all and I am not happy about it. I use another printer for that. I gave up on trying to get it to work

great machine no envelope or printing issus but does jam when paper gets low and sensor gets dirty and has to be cleaned regularly as it gets older

I don't know because I have never printed for an envelope before. I recommend you contact the 1-800 number on the owners manual for assistance.

I use it regularly with 110# card stock and it will print on it. You might need to watch the feed. I've not had a jam but I have had more than one piece of paper try to run through at the same time. Overall, I'd say this is a very dependable and versatile printer.

I haven't printed envelopes specifically, but it has printed every non-standard (8.5 X 11) paper size I've fed it including: labels sheets, business cards, small name card labels, and more. I hope that helps!

I have used 110 lb cardstock with this printer and it prints fine with it. They recommend loading "special" paper from the back, but I've used it in the front-loading tray. As to the envelope question, there is a guide both in the front and rear. As to whether or not it's specific for envelopes, I don't know. I haven't printed envelopes yet. But the guides to adjust to accommodate envelope-sized items.

It WILL print envelopes. They need to be manually fed through the slot behind the narrow rectangular door on the front of the printer.

I am able to print beautiful 13 x 19 prints with this printer. I only use Epson paper and inks. They frame well and are archival. I love this printer except for smaller sized paper which does not feed reliably. I thinbk you should be satisfied with the quality of the work it produces.

Do a search for "hp officejet pro 8500a plus instruction manual" then, in the Table of Contents, click "Print" and "Print on Special and Custom Size Paper". Hopefully, this will provide the information you need, right from the source! I tried (unsuccessfully) some time ago to print a #10 envelope but, having now found this manual, will read the instructions and hopefully also solve a problem for myself! Regarding overall quality, I am very pleased with this printer/scanner.

Don't use it for envelopes. Paper capacity is about 20 sheets. Use it very lightly, but it works well. Cartridges are not very high capacity, to put it mildly

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.

I have not done card stocks but it did do a nice job on envelopes. I would reccomend this printer highly no problems so far.

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

I have just printed one envelope at a time with no problems. They go in sideways. The software on-line manual shows how to load the envelope.

They came out with another firmware in late July but I haven't printed any envelopes yet to see if it helped any. This is what works for me..... Push the envelope into the slot _lightly_ until you will feel a slight stop. Do NOT push any further! Just use your finger tips at the rear most part of the envelope. Within a few seconds (5 or 6 seconds if the printer is asleep) you should feel the printer grab the envelope, it will only move a very slight amount, maybe 1/8th of an inch, you have to pay attention, then you should be able to print normally. It works for me every time now. I've had mine over a year. I found it out from another poster. After digging into Brothers web site and reading their manuals I actually did see where Brother mentioned the same thing, but I had to do a lot of digging to find it. I think it was buried in their trouble shooting section? Thank goodness I don't print a lot of envelopes, that's actually my only nit pick, well, that and having to open the back of the printer when printing envelopes. Also, I use the cheaper standard envelopes and I found that if you use the handle of a butter knife or another flat utensil and flatten the envelope first it will get rid of 90% of the wrinkles. Hoped it helps....

I have printed photos up to 8x10 on glossy photo paper and I am happy with all my results. This printer does a fine job printing normal photos. It is not a professional printer, and unless your a professional photographer doing print work for money, you should be more than happy with this printer.

It prints envelopes via the manual bypass slot on the front of the paper tray. It is manual (one by one). I have not tried to print stacks of envelopes from the paper tray though. It may be possible to print limited size stacks (25).

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.
