    Flat paper path machine?

    Hello Everyone,

    Looking for your recommendations for a machine for the following requirements:

    We require a machine with a flat paper path that can print DL and C5 envelopes without crinkling or damage to the envelope. The envelopes will be a mixture of both windowed and none windowed types. Ideally the machine will be able to handle both mono and colour work. Ideally looking for a machine that is fairly inexpensive as it will not be working very hard.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance on this one :-)

    Chris.

    Oki c531n should be ok. Feed through bypass and exit face up on rear output tray.

    Networking skills are advantageous but use of a 3m vacuum cleaner is essential

      Actually most Machines do print on envelopes , check the specs on a particular machine for if it feeds your envelopes.
      Make sure you use Digital envelopes when feeding on any laser printer, specially if you want to print windowed types.

      Good luck!

        Another bit of advice:

        Don't pick the media first then look for a machine that will print on it.

        Pick the machine first then use the proper recommended media designed to work well with that machine.

        I've seen way too many times where my customers places the cart before the horse and it just leads to trouble and disappointment.
