Windowed Envelopes

[tngcas]

Has anyone been able to get these to print on the newer Canon printers?
We were able to print windowed envelopes on our c810 but never on the v1000.
Recently we switched to running two v900s but neither one can do the windowed envelopes without wrinking them badly. I've tried a bunch of different settings and better/worse quality of envelopes and haven't come up with a fix.

Does anyone have some magical hidden setting they know about on the printers and/or in the paper stock profiles that will solve this? We don't do a lot of them (not enough to get a dedicated envelope printer).

Are you using laser compatible window envelopes?

In Australia we can buy window faced envelopes with a glassine window to work on laser printers. The normal windows melt and wrinkle, but with glassine windows you don't have those issues. I'm sure there are options worldwide for these.

I thought I was but now that I've checked it's possible I ordered the wrong thing. I'm going to order a box from wcp that specifically says that they're for digital and give that a go.

Sometimes you still have to turn down the heat on the fuser even using a envelope profile on digitals. I liked Western States digitals when I had to use them.

I did a job one time, only about x100 window envelopes and needed urgently, where I actually cut out a small piece of card the size of the window and used scotch tape to cover the window of each envelope and printed one at a time. Only had normal envelopes in stock. That was fun!

This ended up being the problem. The envelopes we were using stated they were laser compatible BUT didn't specifically say digital. We ordered digital ones and they ran just fine.

compatible

Love that word. That word is used in so many ways to scam consumers............
