Our Print-on-Demand Single Postcards™ meet all postal regulations.  Also, our Four-of-a-Kind Postcards™ yield four 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ postcards, which also meet all postal regulations ($0.28 stamp).

The 2 main labels that are used by FedEx are the LS-U (7.5×5-1/8″ label) and our LS-6x4BL (6×4″ label).  You could print the labels 2up or have the entire sheet as the label and combine a packing slip on the bottom portion, both of these options would require special software.

If you want to print the labels 2up, we have our LLS-8.5×5.5-2up.  The one we use in our order fulfillment is ShipRush for FedEx Shippers.

ROANOKE, VIRGINIA –April 22, 2010– Burris Computer Forms® announces Classy Cream Print-on-Demand Note Card Envelopes, a new addition to its Print-On-Demand Note Cards™ product line.

Companies and individuals can use Burris Classy Cream note card envelopes (NCE-CC) as an easy, convenient, cost-effective way to print and send personalized note cards, greeting cards, announcements, invitations, photographs, etc. Burris also has the Classy Cream Note Cards available to use with the envelopes. The envelopes measure 4-3/8” x 5-3/4” (A2 size) and are now available in Classy Cream, White, Tangerine, Rudolph Red, and Holly Green.

The advantages of the Classy Cream envelopes are that the user can print their own personalized address on a nice, professional envelope to match the note card that he/she has created. The envelopes work for all occasions and holidays to mail, display, and protect any message, greeting, image, or artwork.
To find out which paper a user’s printer can handle, users can search the “Find Your Paper” tool . A chart is also available on the website to help users compare paper weights.

Printers are cheap but printer ink is pricey. One-time and day-to-day adjustments can help prevent waste and save money. Try these techniques to lower your office and home cost of ink.

1. Change the font type

Change the default font (often Times New Roman or Arial) to a lighter font, such as Century Gothic that uses less ink, according to this article. To change your default font on MS Word, go to Format >> Font, select your font, and save as “Default.”

2. Reduce the font size

Reduce the font size to 10 or less — as long as you and your audience can read text comfortably.

3. Use draft setting

Choose the “draft” or “econo” print setting that uses less ink (making the overall print lighter).

4. Use copy services

Take major print jobs to the copy center at your office or nearby office supply store, where you can get cheap prints for significantly less per page than standard inkjet printing.

5. Get refills instead of buying new

Getting refills cost less than buying new. Be on alert for ink refill days at Walgreens. This year, on Earth Day, April 22, 2010, Walgreens will refill cartridges for $1 with a coupon — check your weekly ad circular for the coupon.

6.DIY refills

DIY refills are available from your favorite warehouse club or eBay. According to my dad, a DIYer, this approach can be messy but cost saving.

7. Recycle cartridges

Recycle cartridges by selling them to companies that buy used cartridges, selling them on eBay, or getting credit at Staples, putting money in your pocket or saving on future purchases. (Staples no longer gives immediate credit but rather gives credit through its rewards program.)

8. Buy remanufactured

Years ago, I tried and then stopped using this approach because my prints were essential components of a finished product and needed to be perfect; remanufactured cartridges dispensed uneven prints, hardly detectable to many but not acceptable quality-wise for me. So test this idea for quality, and make sure you are getting as many prints per cartridge as other options.

9. Use it up

Keep printing on nearly-empty cartridges until there is absolutely no ink left. And, instead of replacing cartridges or refilling ink immediately, change the font color to a color for which the cartridge still has ink (you won’t technically save on ink but you’ll delay spending).

10. Don’t print

Use the Document Image Writer or a similar device to create electronic files of receipts rather than printing hard copies. Scan, rather than copy documents. Use a program like CutePDF to create PDF files instead of printing for your records.

11. Print selectively

Print only the information you need by using PrintWhatYouLike or software programs such as GreenPrint or EcoPrint2 as recommended by Nora as an eco-friendly way to save money at the office. Or, you can adjust print settings yourself or copy only the information that you need to a blank document, make adjustments (remove photos and extra lines), and specify print ranges to make sure that you print just what you need and no more.

Another idea: spend more on your printer, less on ink. Some printers may have more economical print settings, wasting less ink than cheaper models. Check prices of printers and ink refills before you buy.

No, do not use paper specifically designated as inkjet paper in a laser printer, as it will leave a residue that will damage the printer.

No, we recommend only using paper specifically designated as inkjet paper, as it will absorb the ink properly.  Here are some examples of our products, which are only designated for inkjet printers.

If you are looking for an invoice paper, we do have our Blank Invoice w/ Tear Off Stub (Item # RINV). It is the same layout as the mailers with the score and perf; however, it is on 24lb paper.  We also have #9 window envelopes that work with this paper.

We do not currently carry a glossy note card however we are working on producing one for laser printers, hopefully we will have it in the next couple of months.  Our note cards do contain a score and perforation for easy folding and tearing the 2 cards apart.

We do carry a postcard that is high gloss on one side and a matte finish on the other: Four-of-a-Kind Postcards™ Glossy for Laser Printers  (Item #4KGL). Our other postcards are matte on both sides.

Our Four-of-a-Kind Utility Postcards™ (Item#4KU)  work great as admission tickets.  They come 4 per page and measure 4.25”x5.5” .  Each postcard has a perforated stub that can be torn off and given to the customer.
