Envelopes for Direct Mail Marketing

http://www.yellow-letters.com/ - this site will mail out your yellow lined letters for $1.20 each
 
The font I like the best for the envelopes is Cheyenne Bold
 
http://www.diypapers.com/a2_ivory_note_card_envelopes_4_x_5.htm  - this page has 1000 envelopes for $63.90 plus shipping so around $80 total.
 
Office Depot has them for $8.99 per 100 plus tax, they said no discount for bulk orders.
 
online Office Depot will sell them a little cheaper...for $7.79 plus tax, if you order a bunch of them you get free shipping.

Walmart Online - has them for $9.94 for the ivory color.

Staples online has the the envelopes for $10.70 so you would need to find a coupon somewhere to make it worth while.

Target Online does not have them.

*** I have to give Google some credit for their Gmail features, I was typing in a page of stuff last night and I was tired, so when I finished I just turned the computer off, later I realized that I had been typing this huge email, but I never sent it.
So I had lost all my work...

Well today I log back into Gmail, and look in the folder called Drafts and there was all my work safely stored, and now that I am paying attention I see at the bottom it says "Draft autosaved (0 minutes ago) so way to go Google, very nice and very useful feature. I am impressed.

Looking at printers now that can do envelopes, someone claims they have printed 500 envelopes with this printer:
HP LaserJet CP3525x A4 Colour Laser Printer
---
I have a Canon MX860 printer and just recently try feeding envelopes from the "back tray" - and it worked great. The envelope size was 6 3/4 x 3 1/2 and it printed 15-20 envelopes at a shot - I flattened the envelopes on each side before printing.
---
I just figured out that it takes me 45 seconds to hand write an envelope so I am probably going to stick with that until I can find a printer that looks like it will work.
