This allows you to print on paper of high density, non-standard format, kinks etc. that are just inherent in the cards. Try to acquire one of these devices on eBay.

Fill the card in the printer or the typewriter in expanded form so that the surface on which will be the seal, was addressed to the head or arms. In the case of the printer, you must combine the left edge of the cards with the left border of the print area, otherwise the head may hit the edge of the paper.
