Weddingbee boards

I purchased an Epson Stylus CX7800 Dura Bright Ultra over a year ago from Sam's Club.  It is a copier, printer, scanner, digital camera memory card slots you can view the memory card on the front and print right from the memory card, even can put old negatives in it and re-print the actual photo.  Little did I know at the time that I was going to be planning a wedding with it.  It's quite grand and being the DIY queen, in the past 3 months, I've printed scrapbook pages for the tables at the reception, 250 invitations (printed on velum, look incredible), save-the-dates and programs.  The printer has gone above and beyond for us and have yet to have to replace any cartridges since putting in new for all the wedding stuff.  The printer itself was reasonable yet the cartriges can be pricey, but they do last a long time.  I got my programs (3 fold brochure) and save the dates (postcards) from www.paperdirect.com .  I've printed many photos with this as well as I'm an avid scrapbooker.  I've always been a die-hard HP gal but Epson has me very impressed.  Epson has  probably upgraded from the one I have, but it may be worth looking at. 

At least get something that is capable of multi-tasking cause you never know what the future holds for you. 

 I just went on epson.com and mine is discontinued, comparable is the cx7400 http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=63069503 

Good luck and enjoy whatever you choose.

You'll need a good printer, a quality font, paper stock, and some type of "desktop publishing software" to get high quality wedding stationeries printed. You should have a newer laser or ink-jet printer running at least 300 dpi (dots per inch) or better. If not, you must get with a printer that matches the above requirement. Some of the newer ink-jet printers feature 600 dpi and can print in color.

Read your printer's User Guide to find out about its paper handling capability. Since most invitation card stock is somewhere between 40 and 80 pound (a measure of paper weight which translates into thickness), you must be sure that your printer can handle thick paper without jamming or curling. Check to see if you have a manual feed path which is often designed to give a straighter feed path.
