Printing Invitations: Tips for Printing Show Info Directly on Postcards

[pcsharon1]

Does anyone print the show information directly on the postcard invitations? If so, what kind of printer do you have? I have tried to do it but my printer always jams with that size paper. I would prefer to do that rather than print on labels and attach but I'm not having much luck.

I have a Canon. Is your printer set up to print on envelopes and such? Then it should be able to do it. If necessary, you may need to do something to indicate you are printing postcards, move the adjustable paper guide, etc. Can you do one at a time? I do the whole bunch at once without a problem, but it's a drop in paper feed so it just go in straight and out (doesn't flip around a roller or anything).

That's my problem, it flips around on a roller. I can do envelopes but even they give me trouble sometimes. I won't take the time to do them one at a time. If I have to do that I will just keep printing the labels

I run then through my laser - when I try them with my inkjet, it jams.

Hi there! I have printed show information directly on postcard invitations before, and I have found that using a laser printer works best for me. The ink tends to smear less and the paper feeds through smoothly, so I haven't experienced any jamming issues. I would recommend trying a laser printer if you haven't already. However, if that's not an option for you, another alternative could be to print on regular paper and then use a glue stick or double-sided tape to attach it to the postcard. I hope this helps! Happy printing!
