Can this printer feed cardstock and photo paper with no problem?

I have printed pictures and found that I need to remove the regular paper before loading the photo paper. I haven't tried cardstock yet. I do like being able to use third party ink. I do a lot of printing and my HP printer would not allow this or refills and I couldn't afford the ink for it.

I haven't tried card stock yet, but I have printed photos on Epson photo paper in a variety of stock sizes without problems and good results. I loaded the cut sheets right into the tray and it fed in without a hitch.

No, this printer cannot handle thick card stock. It takes paper from a bottom tray and then bends the paper in a 'U' shape internally to print and exit to you. As such, any stock that cannot bend easily may either not be taken in or may jam during printing. I've tried with thick watercolor paper for example, and the printer was unable to grab the paper. I suggest you look for a gravity feed printer for printing on thick stock.

YES!! I am on my second printer. The first was sent back to HP because it will not feed photo paper. Sure enough the second one will NOT feed photo paper.

Marisa: I was concerned as I read comments about paper feed problems with Brother printers. I have two printers and they have been wonderful with no paper feed problems. I buy cartridges on ebay (5 for a little over $5.00) and they work well, so printing is very cheap. I really like the printers and recommend them.Bill

It works ok with 110 card stock. The printer is a bit loud as the paper travels over the rollers. Ive printed about 20 pages with success. No jams or errors.

Yes it will print on cardstock. I've done it before. Use the multi-purpose paper tray. Don't use the standard paper trays, they're not made for that.

I feed card stock and other special items such as fabric (yes it will print on fabric, that is backed with freezer paper) one at a time, and I have had no problem. I really like this printer alot.

Hello!I print my own cards and I have two printers that I have used to print cards using this card stock. I have a Hewelett Packard (HP) Officejet Pro 8500 (it's the older of my two printers) and a Canon MG 6220. actually, both printers do a fine job of printing using this card stock. (I make all of my cards for Birthday's, get well, etc.) I love doing it and this card stock works very nicely. Betsy

Not as far as I can tell. We have several of these printers for industrial and accounting use, some run on a parallel cable and port others use a serial connection and card (which is quite pricey) I see no other connections. These appear to be old "workhorse" type impact printers that print on multipart forms.

I do not know. I had so much trouble with my new printer I took it back and had the same trouble with the paper feed on the second as with the first I took it back. I do not recommend you getting that printer. Nothing but trouble.

I have not tried card stock, other than Avery 3297 half fold greeting cards and it works fine with them. I have never had a paper jam. I use this printer for my professional digital photo prints.

I use regular 8 1/2 x 11 office paper and print mostly text and have never used photo paper. I know it will cost you more but stick with the Canon ink cartridges and you should have no compatibility problems. The printer is compact and I have had no problems with my Canon iP 1800

I've been having the same problem with cardstock. It would just feed through blank. I went into the Setup menu --> Printer Setup --> Paper Source Settings --> Paper Configuration and turned it OFF. After that, the cardstock has been running through just fine.

There is a manual load and one tray, you can load the paper you like but you may need to change the printer configuration for card stock. Going to the printer IP number using a browser.

I use all weights of photo paper- some heavier than cardstock and this printer does just fine from thin to heavy weighted paper, thick photo paper and cardstock. I'm not sure if it would handle actual cardboard, as I don't use anything that heavy. I set my printer on ALL TYPES of paper on the menu and it automatically adjusts for the thickness. My printer handles any paper or cardstock and it's great to have it adjust automatically. I hope this answers your question.

I use this printer for card stock (24pt blister cards which is heavier than 100lb stock), using the rear sheet feeder. (The stock I use is 4" x 5", so I can't try it in the paper tray.) 100lb card stock will work fine through the rear feeder - I'm not sure how it will work through the paper tray.

I haven't tried printing on photo paper, but it prints everything else perfectly.
