need envelope print speed - sometime 30k envelopes

I have tried an IBM 1572 and HP4350tn with envelope feeders. In both cases the manufacturer stated that printing envelopes would not degrade the performance. Once installed the speed dropped to about 10-20 ppm. Both times the manufacturer tech support says, "Oh yeah. We slowed the print speed on envelopes on purpose". IBM was to save the fuser and HP was to stop smearing of the print. $2000-2500 is the budget. Anything from 40 to 50 ppm would be fine but the envelope printing needs to run at the stated speed. Any ideas?

I don't know of a printer to perform like you want unless you go to a BIG Xerox BUT (and Xerox would have to be researched) keep in mind that running large quantities of envelopes through a printer will tend to cause an impression on the fuser where the envelopes are running through.  This impression will create two black lines down any other document at the edges of the impression.  

Hope this Helps!!!    and not toooo confusing.      :-)

It seems that every manufacturer boasts of their printing abilities but only face the facts after I send their printer back. Addrex.com is the only site where I got complete information. Hope this helps anyone following me.
