Neil...thanks for your input. When it comes to handmade invitations nowadays, flat printing is more preferred because brides would rather spend their money on details of exquisite paper (which I use a lot of), ribbons and the like. For flat, traditional invitations I always use thermography or even letterpress, but on more ornate, handmade designs the demand is elsewhere. I have printed an invitation before on my Epson R1800 and my local printer couldn't tell that he didn't do it. The issue I have is that then I need to spray-coat everything to ensure the ink doesn't bleed. The recommendation made to me by one of my national vendors (www.envelopments.com) is to use a Oki C5300 as then the ink won't have the bleeding tendencies. They are one of the top in the field, but with my model (older I know) I am just leary. The inkjet also has limitations in printing on metallic stock, which I also use a lot of, and for this envelopments always recommends a color laser.
