[Trainer-Talk] Printing labels and envelopes, or finding alternatives?

[Jim Portillo]

Howdy everyone,

 

I need to see if I can find a good and efficient way of being able to do a
personal project.

 

I will need to begin doing several mailings.  It won't be a one-time thing
either.  This means that I will need to find a good and efficient way of
dealing with addressing mailers.  These mailers aren't your typical regular
envelopes.  They'll be padded envelopes with CDs and papers in them.

One of the things I was possibly thinking was using labels, where I could
use a program like Word to type the address of the recipient and then print
it out as a label.  Never having done this before, and not knowing how I'd
use my printer, I'm wondering how or if it could be done.

Is there perhaps a label printer that could be used with a computer?  Has
anyone used something like that?

 

I'm aware that perhaps the most efficient thing to do would be to use a
reader or sighted person to address each envelope.  The only reason it
wouldn't be so efficient (besides needing to hire one) is because I'd have
to wait for us to meet, and I'd have to have the person do several at one
time.  

If there's an easier way of doing this, I'd like to know.

 

Thanks much.

Jim
