Postal Image Transfer - Any Solutions?

[drtree]

Hi All,

I've been asked to do some try and find a solution to a printing problem we've been having here (and from what it sounds like, it's a problem everyone's dealing with) - postal image transfer. The envelopes go out fine, but once the constituents get them, they're smudged or the letters contained in them have some type of print issue. I found some posts on HP's forums talking about changing the printer's settings to economode, changing the fuser temperature and turning off RET (Resolution Enhancement Technology) but my concern with those solutions is that we'd end up having to change the setting back for normal print jobs. We've also been looking into envelope printers (from Rena, Astro Machine Corp), which we've tried in the past with mixed results (some people found them too difficult to use, and the types of envelopes that were ordered at the beginning of the school year didn't work well with the envelope printer). I also checked out the high-speed inkjet technology (check out

for some cool vids) which sounds promising but is still in development.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem (or found anything that mitigates the effects)?

Thanks,

Doc Tree

I would try a different brand of toner first and see if that does anything for you.

Depending on you HP printer (I am assuming you are using an HP from you're post) have profiles you can set, so you can make all you changes and save it to a particular profile i.e. User2 and then when you need to change back to normal printing just change out of that profile to the default one. Other than that you may want to look into having another printer just for that (if economicly possible)


I don't have a link for you but you can probably google it and find what I am talking about.
