Hi, I’m Josh from LCI Paper and today I’d like to walk you through the steps of printing
envelopes at home using your computer, your printer, and Microsoft Word. Now printing
envelopes at home can be a time saver and it can also save you money, depending on your How To Print On Envelopes At Home !!! calligraphy skills or depending on what a calligrapher might have charged if you were
to go that route.
Most people are experts when it comes to printing
by
copy paper at home or at work
but printing envelopes requires some extra steps. I’m going to walk you through the
process. In my accompanying blog article, you’ll find all of the steps and you’ll
online print center find some extra considerations so I strongly recommend that you follow along the article
as well as watching this video.
In this video I’m going to be showing you how to print on a
by
envelope,
called an A7 envelope, like this. We’ll be printing names and an address. But the
same principles and the same instructions will apply to virtually any size envelope
that you’ll be printing like these three sizes or even Double Wedding Envelopes.
Step 1: Load the envelope into your printer. With the flap closed, load the short edge
first into your printer and then adjust the plastic sliding guide to rest flush against
the left edge of your envelope.
Step 2: In Word, set up your document. Create a new document sized to the same dimensions
as your envelope. So for this example my envelope is
high by
inches wide. I’m
going to set these same dimensions but in decimals because that’s how Word likes it.
So
inches high by
inches wide.
Type in the first name and address from your guest list. Customize the text by choosing
a specific font that you like and a font size and center the text at this point. When everything
looks the way you’d like it to be printed, you’re all set to move forward to Step
Access the printer driver and enter the envelope’s height, width, and alignment. Even though
you loaded your envelope correctly in Step
got an
by
sheet of copy paper, so you do need to enter your printer driver and
enter a custom size. Since your envelope is loaded on its side, short edge first, the
width becomes the shorter dimension, in this example
longer dimension, 7 1/4. All this is accessed in the printer’s software or “driver”
and the specific PC and Mac instructions are in my article.
Step
envelope as a test. Now the reason that we strongly suggest printing a
sample envelope first is that we need to see if the printed test results meets your requirement.
There are a few things to look for. First of all, does the text print as you were hoping?
Is the text sharp and saturated on the envelope? Another thing to consider; is the envelope
still in excellent shape after running through your printer? Certain printers have a sharp
turn that can damage the envelope so make sure your envelope still looks pristine, especially
if it’s a special event.
Also, depending on the type of envelope you use, whether a matte finish like this, a linen
finish, a metallic finish, you’ve gotta make sure that your printer gives you the
quality that you’re looking for. Otherwise, you may want to choose a different type of
envelope or you may want to look at a different printer to use for this job.
Bottom line: Only by testing the actual envelope in your specific printer can you determine
the actual results.
Step 5: Print your envelopes. There are two ways to print envelopes that are going to
different addresses. The first way is just to go back to your Word document, change the
name and address, and print an envelope. Just repeat the process for each address. And the
second is a more advanced technique and that’s printing your envelopes all at once using
Microsoft Word’s Mail Merge feature and we’ve provided a link to that article in
this article.
