Step 10 Hardware - Printing Envelopes

While the acrylic is being cut you have plenty of time to stuff the various envelopes full of the goodies that come with each kit.

We start by printing what is inside each envelope. As the envelopes we use (#1 and #6 Coin envelopes) are quite a bit smaller than normal mail envelopes finding a printer that will print them happily is nearly impossible. Our problem was solved when we happened across an old ink-jet printer at our local thrift store ($2.50). It's absence of a paper presence sensors, and easily modified paper feed tray made it perfect.
