Does anyone have experience using DL size envelopes in a laser printer?
I have tried using the self adhesive type, but they just jam up 

My supplier cannot sugest which type to use. Any sugestions?

sorry can`t help, but if you find one that prints easily then let us know cos it does my head in trying to print on envelopes, I`ve tried all sorts

Do you use self adhesive types with the gum exposed? Or, like me, the type with a removeable paper strip covering the adhesive? I used to have problems on my Inkjet with the former, but not the latter.

Safe and happy printing

I dont have a problem with an inkjet printer on envelopes, but have changed to laser (Samsung ML2510) .
The laser printer is not as kind, perhaps because the throughput is a lot faster, not because of the heat.

The envelopes I'v tried are self adhesive fold over type without the removable paper stip.
It seems to be the top fold that causes the jamming.

are you adjusting all the print setting so the printer knows its envelopes its printing onto,  you can print envelopes in MS-Word but you still need to adjust the paper setting in the printer control box so it know it has envelopes in the in-tray.

Yes Mike tried envelope, thin paper and thick paper settings....slight improvement on thick paper setting, instead of jamming, it ripples the end of the envelope.
I think I may try thicker envelopes if I can get them.

Will just have to use the inkjet in the mean time.

If you are only printing names and addresses onto the envelopes,it is much easier to use window envelopes and looks better too.(don't run them through your laser)
If printing logos etc,never used a laser for that,but I do know that there are laser envelopes that are suitable,give Viking a look.-John

May do that...thanks HQ

Was giving it another look today. It seems the envelope has to go round a very tight bend b4 coming out of the top of the printer...this may be the problem! Perhaps bad design?

Hp 2600n will spit them out all day long without problems I have used HP for years without problems and I also use " Easy envelopes" software rather than the option in word as it allows the use of Logo's etc on the envelope,you can also purchase credit from Royal Mail.com to print your own postage and add logo's etc.Hope this helps
