Two Color Printing

Two-color printing means that your design contains two different ink colors. Your 2 chosen colors can be combined to create a wide variety of hues.

Four Color Printing

Designs that contain more than two colors require an ink process called full-color printing, which is also known as CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key). These four ink colors can be combined to print an endless variety of colors.

I normally do not send out digital proofs. That way I can keep my costs down and the turn-around time fairly fast! Since I take the information as it is typed in the "note to seller" and copy/paste it into my program and then make adjustments for typestyle (all lowercase, all uppercase, etc.), there usually aren't any problems with not sending out proofs.

If you still would like to see a proof, please let me know in the "note to seller" box upon checkout. Please note that this may delay production by a day or two.

What type of envelope should you use in business?

A #10 envelope is the popular business envelope size, and is used for both direct mail and transactional mail.

Can I print an address directly on an envelope?

You can choose a computer program to print an address on a single envelope, which you load into your printer's paper input tray. Or, you can do a Mail Merge and print addresses on a sheet of adhesive labels, which you load into your printer's paper input tray. You then attach each label to an envelope.

How do I print labels on an envelope?

Go to Envelopes and Labels > Options > Envelopes > Envelope Options to customize the envelope, the addresses' position, and font. Go to Mailings > Envelopes > Envelopes and Labels. Select Print to send both the envelope and the letter to the printer.
