Envelope: I will need to run about 100 envelopes through this machine a year. Has anyone used the envelope function regularly? How does it work?

The by-pass tray for envelopes has worked great for us. It holds about 5 envelopes at a time and we have not had any issue with it.

You should have no trouble using "Envelope Printer" with this printer. However, reading a few Customer Reviews on Amazon for this printer, it is no easy task setting the printer up to print envelopes. Hope this helps.

I have only printed a few, but it works just fine. I printed the envelopes out of Word. Envelopes load in the front of the printer via the manual load tray.

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!

Yes. Follow the directions. I put one envelope at a time in the manual tray. It wrinkles the envelopes a bit - I use my inkjet most of the time for envelopes.

I use this machine 5 days a week in an office then also scan receipts with it for my own personal purpose. It has held up well.There are faster machines that are in the $600 to $700 range but this is adequate for me.I've seen the scanners that come with software to sort receipts but that looks designed for home use and not small business.This should work fine for you but you want to think through your sorting method. Sort by year/month, category.And by all means, DO FREQUENT BACKUPS!

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.

I bought the #10 envelop attachment, the HP CE399A, which holds 75 envelopes. The manual bypass can handle maybe 10 envelopes. I don't believe the built in trays work with envelopes. At least I couldn't get that to work.

Works fine, but they caution against using envelopes with self adhesive. I use regular #10, and they print well and go through without wrinkling. With my old HP, envelopes looked like accordions.

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).

I have tried to get it to do 1 envelope and I was unsuccessful. Haven't tried multiple envelopes.

If you are having 300 people, does that mean 150 envelopes ( 1 per couple) ? If so, you should be fine. If more than that, I would buy 2 or look into something larger.

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.

No, its for 100 envelopes. IF you only need one I suggest you try to find some thing similar at your local Office or Staples. But if you are looking for 100 or more envelopes this is a good buy.

Not if I am careful to use good (I use hp paper) paper. This great printer will feed envelopes very well. I use that feature to play around with fonts for Christmas cards and gifts. While looking for a good printer for another location I I had bad results with several of the highest rated (by consumer's union) hp printers. This happened in a very dry climate using old paper. I bought new paper and still had feed problems with other hp models. When trying this (8600) - the feed problems just went away. I believe the dry climate drys and stiffens the paper, taxing any printer's feed system. If you are in a dry (or very humid) climate, read all hp instructions about paper storage, loading and feeding. One other problem I brought on myself at the dry climate location - I bought the 8600 at a retailer (big box store). Never again. I bought my latest 8600 directly from hp to get hp support. Best printer decision I ever made. HP warranty and support is world class or better and the first year support is free. I've extended my hardware and hp system support. Next best money I ever spent. Hope this helps you.

it easily handles #10 envelopes by the hand feed utilizing tray 1. however, i find it best if no more than 2 envelopes at a time are fed. every once in a while them don't come out right and must be re-fed. however, i am happy with this function.

We used our stamp for wedding invitations. We sent approximately 300 invitations out and an unknown number of thank you letters. We have also used the stamp for all outgoing mail (we do not send large amounts of mail on a regular basis) for a little over 1 year now. We are still using the stamp with no signs of wear or damage and have not had the need to even refill the ink yet. Very happy with it's longevity.
