The Envelope Opportunity
Overall, in-plants report that the envelope printers are very easy to operate; many are run by student workers. As with all digital devices, they do jam at times, but no one we talked with noted any significant problems.
There are limitations, however, such as business reply envelopes, which require printing close to the edge of the envelope. Keats, of Colgate University, says Baronial envelopes have been a challenge. Steve Aicholtz, manager of Business Services at the Community College of Philadelphia, says when his in-plant first started using its PSI LM3655 to print window envelopes, the film melted. He now orders special window envelopes that can withstand the heat.
