[DCRM-L] Printers for archival book slips

[Diana Simpson]

We are going to be changing to a new archival book slip.  Our previous slips were created in-house at 2 7/8 inch wide and we were able to print them using standard HP printers. In testing the width of the new slips (before ordering) we have been unable to print them because of the narrower width. The printer guides do not get narrow enough to hold the slips in place as the printer roller grabs them and they shift as they go through.

Does anyone have experience printing either of these slips? What printer do you use to print them? Is there an adapter for a standard printer tray to keep them in place?

Or what slips / printers do you recommend?
