Thread: What type of printer would I need to make imprintable invitations?

I'm a graphic designer, but my experience working with printers is limited. I have my own line of stationery and invitations that I've designed and I'd really like to get it printed. The only problem I've had so far is making the invitations imprintable. I want to print blank stock cards with my designs and make them inkjet and laser friendly so that people can print their own wording on them at home. I have access to a digital press, but any design I print using it cannot be printed on top of using an inkjet printer b/c the ink smears. What kind of printer do I need to be looking into for this?

You should be ok with any offset press. The best thing to do is find an offset printer, DI works too and ask them for some samples of their work that you want to test applying your inkjet imprints on. Any printer that wants your business will be happy to provide samples for your testing.
