Best place to get them printed please?

I've had enough of trying to print them on my crap wireless HP printer at home. >:(

Any minute now it's going out of the window and will be smashed to pieces on my front lawn Basil Faulty style!

lol exactly what i did last week but down the stairs it kept jamming when printing envelopes and lost my rag, got a canon piximar now no more jamming as it loads from the back and doesn't need to fold the envolope over to print.

I also hate printing envelopes, I now pay £5 per 100 to be printed, that also includes printing the payment slips, cutting and stapling to the envelope.
I dont mind paying as it gets a job off my hands and the 12yr girl who does it has stopped asking for cash every 5 minutes to buy magazines and sweets  ;D

I have been leaving just slips for about 2 weeks now the reason is not to save using an cenvelope but to encourage people to pay online rather then send a cheque basicaly trying to make it a hassle for them to post it, so far I have had one or two start paying online who used to post but also a few ring me for address to send payment even tho the address is on the slips. I think this is the way forward to get more and more people to pay online but will take some time, however there are a few I will always need to leave them for.

I use a self ink stamp, i used to print them but took sooooo long, it takes no time to stamp your address on a pack of envelopes with one.

i have a bunch of envelopes in the van with self addressed sticky labels and  stamps already on.simple!

mind you i only use about 5-10 a week!the others either pay on the day or i collect once a week.online banking is on the horizon and ill be encouraging it in the future as they gradually phase the cheque out.
