does anyone know that maximum cardstock weight that this printer will work with?

I just tried two samples of heavy paper. I don't know the paper weight (don't have the original packing), but I measured the thickness. The .009 inch thick paper went through the printer, but it was curled when it came out. The other sample is .010 thick got stuck and did not go through. Hope this helps.

I just got my lexmark pro 705. I tried to print business cards (Avery 8873). It has trashed every sheet, refusing to load it. The printer goes ahead and prints on nothing and then when it tries to kick out the paper it indicates a jam.

Yes, use the upper tray and change the paper size setting to legal. You can also print on heavy paper by using the paper loader in the back and changing the paper type to heavy (like card stock).

It does, but it sometimes it causes paper jams. For me, the 110# stock seems to work better from Tray 1 than the multi-purpose tray. From the printer menu, under tray configuration you can specify 3 card stock types. I have yet to figure out what the 3 different options mean. I've guessed that card stock number 3 is the heaviest weight stock, so I usually use this setting. I have the best luck using the MP tray with 80# cover and feeding each sheet one at a time. Works perfectly every time this way.

While the product itself does not specify its cardstock weight, I use a variety of paper weights in my work (16lb; 24lb; 28lb; 32lb; 67lb; 110lb), I compared the feel of the Avery WorkSaver Tab Inserts to several of the cardstocks I use, and they appear to be between 32lb and 67lb. The Avery WorkSaver folds in the center to increase the weight to double when inserted in the plastic tab holder. I have been using this product for more than 10 years and I wouldn't give them up for anything. They are easy to use in a computer printer with the appropriate Avery Word Template.

I tried it just for you! I have 20 pound card stock. It printed just like it does on normal paper. This is a great printer for a small price. AND, the biggest bonus I think, the ink is relatively cheap and lasts! I can not say enough good things about this little printer.

It can fit/ print pretty good on 100lb card stock just when you print under printer controls make sure you select first Print Settings>MEdia Type> Premium Presentation Paper Matte. This makes the printer know your printing on card stock. In the printers instructions it will say what each media types settings can be used for various Lb thickness. So the printer knows what speed and quality to print on to avoid jams. If you can clarify the paper it is (company and type/ color) I can give a more clear review since I print on most specialty heavy weight papers papers.

I also haven't used card stock paper in the printer. I use mine mostly for work related printing and the thickest paper I have used was 24 lb. bonded paper that worked fine.

It's rated for 60 pages of 75 lb. max. card stock. I've used Georgia Pacific, 110 lb, card stock in mine, but did not always print with good quality.

The printer manual says 176-220g card stock. I have printed on 67# cardstock on one side without any problem using the optional real output tray. I would only use the optional rear output option.

In general, ink jet or commercial printing may be best for heavy card stock. My experience with color laser printers of the home office variety is that they are very picky about maximum paper thickness and the max paper thickness they allow is not very thick. Even envelopes have caused me problems with home office variety color laser machines and even the commercial grade color laser for the printing company that did work for me allowed only moderate thickness of paper.

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.

I just purchased this printer from Staples and am going to return it because I can not for the life of me get it to print on cardstock. I have been reading up on it and aparrently this is a known problem a lot of people have been complaining about since the printer came out. I have had no problems printing on various label paper, inkjet transparencies, resume paper, but it will not print on my 67# cardstock

I'm not sure what the spec is but I can print on Business card stock but anything thicker than that will jam. Even business card stock does not separate well when feeding. That is on the MG 5520 model.

I also have a heavy office printer. I don't know exactly how much it weighs but it can withstand mine. I have an hp 6310 officejet.

Yes. This is why I bought one. You need the straight paper path becaus heavy stock won't work with a regular paper tray. This printer has both.I have used 110# paper, but I really like the Hammermill 80# card stock.It is bright white and folds well.

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.
