Does one exist? I know there are small printers that could be used for this, but I am looking for one that the envelop will fit into perfectly so that it's quick and easy to get the envelope printed correctly. TIA.

None that I have ever discovered. The smallest you'll find are compact notebook printers... which aren't always envelope friendly.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the reply. I did some searches and was surprised that I couldn't find anything like that, which is what prompted the post.

The key is how well the envelopes feed, I guess...you want to make sure there is at least a moveable paper guide, like this:

Solution: Load Envelopes Correctly i70 / i80 / iP90

How to set envelopes:
1. Set envelopes to the right side of the sheet feeder. Set envelopes with their longer side vertically and the flap either at the bottom or
on the left.
2. Pinch and slide the paper guide until it firmly resets against the left side of the stacked envelopes.
Note: The maximum number of envelopes that can be loaded is five.

Have you looked at any 4" x 6" photo printers?


If this is for your office, the best bet might be an envelope feeder for a regular laser printer:

I had looked at the 4" x 6" photo printers. However, I should look again now that I know there's not a printer specifically for envelopes. Thanks for the tips and information; much appreciated. It looks like I will indeed have to go that route.
