These days, with the advent
of highly advanced computer and
printer technology, many
brides-to-be are selecting
computer calligraphy for their
invitation addressing and are
extremely pleased with the
results.
Artist has scanned her own,
unique calligraphy "hand" into
a special program which allows
her to use her own calligraphy
as a personal computer font.
A very high quality inkjet
printer is used with either
black or colored ink; the
results are high quality,
professional, and economical. Unless
studied closely by guests who
have expertise in recognizing
hand calligraphy, your guests
will probably wonder whether
they were done by hand!
Turn around time is also much
faster.
Computer calligraphy is $1.50
per set (inner and outer
envelopes) or $1.25 for single,
outer envelopes only. Turn
around time for hand calligraphy
is 1-2 weeks, depending on work
load. There is also a
$12.00 return shipping charge
(regular UPS ground service) if
envelopes are to be shipped or
mailed back to the client.
Express shipping additional.
There is no additional charge
for colored inks. Your
return address color can be
scanned and matched if you want
your addressing in color.
Customer must supply artist with
their closely proofread list, in
block-style format (one column
only, flush left, with
the outer envelope addresses in
one file and the inner envelope
addresses in another file.
Artist prefers this to be sent
by e-mail. The files need
to be compatible with Microsoft
Word. Block-style
format means you list each line
in the guest entry
consecutively, exactly as it is
to appear, with a hard break (or
2-3 spaces) between each
complete guest entry.

Formatting Your List
Please note that some envelopes
that are extra-large or have
unusually heavy linings are not
able to be addressed by an
inkjet printer using computer
calligraphy. Please
mention if your envelopes are
unusual in any way and artist
can determine if it will be a
problem. Test samples are
available at no charge.
Extra envelopes: Please
provide enough extra envelopes
in case of mistakes or computer
jams. Around 20% of the quantity
of your order is usually
sufficient. So, if
you have 100 addresses, then
having 20 extra outer and inner
envelopes would be good.
Unless a colored ink is
selected, artist always uses
black ink.Some types of
envelopes have a higher cotton
content than others and can
cause the ink to feather a bit.
For this reason, results may
vary slightly in the crispness
of the computer printing on
certain envelopes. If
feathering is to the point of
being unattractive, artist will
not proceed with order but will
consult client. This is
rarely a problem.
Below you may view the four
basic computer calligraphy
styles (all
priced at $1.50 per set, or
$1.25 outer only) which were
created by the artist. If
you would prefer computer
calligraphy using a standard
computer font, that
is also possible. Just
specify the name of the font,
and if artist has it on her
computer it will be used.
Motifs
can also be added below
addresses at .50 each.
