Can I print on handmade envelopes using a home printer?

You can, and results come down to paper thickness and how you feed the envelopes. Most desktop printers handle envelopes up to a point, then jamming becomes the issue.

• Thickness limit: most inkjet and laser printers accept up to 80lb cardstock. Heavier stock risks jams and misfeeds.
• Feed one at a time rather than stacking, which prevents the printer from grabbing two at once.
• Set the media type to thick paper or envelope mode so the rollers and heat adjust.
• Do a scrap test print first to confirm alignment and margins before running your good stock.

For a large run or crisp full-color artwork edge to edge, professionally printed envelopes deliver cleaner registration than a home printer can.
