Heaviest card stock? Can pretty much any AIO handle heavy card stock/index card weight (100-110 lb)? Or am I better off going with a more "plastic" type stock to get durability?

I have used 110 lb cardstock with this printer and it prints fine with it. They recommend loading "special" paper from the back, but I've used it in the front-loading tray. As to the envelope question, there is a guide both in the front and rear. As to whether or not it's specific for envelopes, I don't know. I haven't printed envelopes yet. But the guides to adjust to accommodate envelope-sized items.

I've seen lots of reviews about printing photos, I don't do much of that. I'd like to know how well it prints card stock and envelopes. I work with card programs. I use heavy weight card stock and print envelopes. The envelopes give the most problems. HP printers have a guide that slides over to hold the envelope in place. I need to know if the Canon has a guide or envelope slot. I've had Canon printers in the past and eally liked them but they wouldn't print envelopes properly. The envelope would move out of alighnment without a guide.

Not sure -- by comparison, of course in my opinion, this paper is more like Stampin-Up whisper white. It isn't as heavy as PapertreyInk or Ginia K's 110 lb cardstock. This paper is about the same weight as a good index card :-(

Hi Simon! These are heavier than regular kraft paper, but lighter than normal card stock... I hope this helps!

The 100 lb weight was too thick- I got only a partial punch-through even when I leaned on the punch. The lower weight card stock works very well for me (the weight you get in scrapbook paper kits). Very thin paper (like printer paper) scrunches up, but with care you can punch it and carefully ease it out. Hope this helps.

I have not been able to get my Epson XP-400 to print on any medium-heavy weight card stock, even when I hand feed it single sheets. I have a friend who was able to ram a few sheets of 100# pages through, but then the printer wouldn't pull any type of paper through after that. I highly recommend you don't ram paper through - the person below who says "Its' not an HP" so you can rough the printer up does not appear to be trustworthy or logical.

I would not recommend very heavy cards or index cards, if you stay close to an index card paper weight you should be good. But they are so pretty two wood not be bad to have!

Yes, it does print wonderfully on 90 to 110lb. card stock.If your an avid fan of re-filling your own ink cartridges, this printer is super easy to do.If not E-bay is a great place to buy re-placement cartridges,for a fraction of the cost of buying from a retail store.And the quality is just as good.

The heaviest cardstock I have printed on with the Artisan 837 is 65 lb. weight paper. I change the Media Type to "Presentation Paper Matte" and choose the "Photo" quality. It prints wonderfully everytime. I hope this helps.

I have used card stock as pamphlet covers and this machine cleanly punches. Today, I tested four sheets of cardstock. The machine punched through all four sheets cleanly and smoothly, without any extra effort. I have never used cardstock heavier than the usual 65 paperweight. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Joan, I bought the HP e8100 printer and it will not take the 110 lb card stock either, eventhough it says it takes card stock and has no weight limit listed. The HP tech support in India told me that the printer was working just fine because it printed on regular paper without a problem. He said that I needed to contact Adobe because it was a problem with the Adobe file that I was trying to print. (The printer would not grab the paper and feed it thru the machine) Calling tech support was a waste of time. I am returning the machine.

Suze, sorry but it doesn't say on the box. You might check the avery.com site for a specific weight. I find the cards to be a nice not-too-heavy but not-too-light card stock. I order the matte finish. The envelopes are nice as well.

Hello SunnyTN! 1 sheet of Wausau Paper Index Card stock weighs out at 11 grams. I have previously purchased Avery brand Inkjet Postcard/Index card stock, and 1 sheet weighs out to 9 grams. I'd say the Wausau Paper Index card stock would make a perfect postcard!

Expect jamming problems with 110 lb index and 80 lb card stock (they are about the same weight and thickness). I wouldn't use this unit for anything greater than 60 lb card stock. But check the operating manual or go on the KM website to confirm the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the printer's official limitations. Be aware that very heavy stock cannot be flipped over without jamming except in those units that are specifically made to handle heavy stock, like the Xante Ilumina.

Sorry, I have not tried card stock yet. Don't know how it will do but I like everything else so far.

Hi, I've been using 192gm which is not as heavy but still quite thick and I've had no problems. I've never tried a heavier stock. I would assume if you are paying for a larger printer it should be able to accommodate heavier stock anyway.

Tip on printing greeting cards. Use Matte finish presentation paper. Make them 1/4 fold design. You'll get awsome quality and they're easier to fold than card stock anyway. It's normally 32 to 35# HP brand seems to be the best value at this time.That said....I don't think I want this printer as I often need to print on heavy paper for other print jobs.

The one pictured is probably about twice as thick as standard Xerox paper. It is 44lb. The one I have is 27lb and is about as thick as standard Xerox paper. Usually the thicker card stock is around 80lb and up. Usually I get 120lb for business card thick. This should be thicker but still not cardstock. It will be like two sheets of Xerox paper thick I imagine.
