Does anyone know if there is a max paper thickness? My old pixma was able to print on card stock.

I have NOT tried to print on card stock, the matte photo looks to be about the same thickness, so I cautiously believe card stock will work.

I don't know of a maximum thickness, but I have printed on photo paper and business card sheets - both of which use heavier stock.

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.

It should be ok for use with card stock, but as is the case with any thicker paper, it is just naturally more opaque.

The printer is NOT capable of printing on card stock or even quality photo paper. It simply can not feed the heavier paper due to the sharp radius turns in the paper path. Other than that, I love the printer and have used it for 3 years with no problems.

Huh? Another answer says there's an extra tray in the rear of the printer for card stock. Not on my MX472. And no mention of it in the on-line tutorial. The only way mine prints is to feed them through like paper. Am I missing something?

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).

The Pro205 and other "top-loading" Lexmark printers will print on heavy stock just fine. But duplexing card stock is not supported. (make sure the Eco-mode is not set to automatic duplex). The reason some products have trouble with heavy card stock is because it is trying to pull paper around a very tight curve in the paper path.(I work for Lexmark, but my comments are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of Lexmark International, Inc.)

I have never used card stock (yet)...but I have owned Canon Printers for YEARS-- and I could count ALL the paper-jams on one hand, and not use all the fingers... Others have said they printed card-stock just fine.

Since the paper does a 180 degree turn out of the tray and into the print path you'd need to stay within guidelines for paper thickness and flexibility. Anything thicker than standard inkjet photo stock will give you problems. There's no rear single sheet feed as some printers have for thick stocks. Other than that I really like this printer.

I have this printer and see no "thick paper" option. Can you please tell me where to find this?

I use the printer with 110 weight card stock and its o.k. as long as you feed it through one sheet at a time. Its slow and sometimes it takes a bit to get the printer to grab the sheet. Its the same for labels -very slow, one at a time. The printing itself is pretty good. We had a Brother printer before and it seemed more heavy duty. It printed envelopes, labels and card stock by the stack. This one has a lot less "oomph"

It's not card stock thick. But not super thin. Somewhere in the middle. Very pretty prints but if you want the card to be more sturdy this would not be thick enough.

I've had one for about 3-4 years and just attempted to print business cards and have tried to print card stock in the past. Neither work. Putting in just one sheet at a time and using the premium matte paper setting didn't change anything. Any way I try the printer says out of paper / paper jam error and neither is true. Very disappointed on this part of the performance. Rest has been fine.

Yes, I print on 11x17 80lb Cover Stock (which is slightly heavier than 110 card stock)

Yes. It will print on card stock. I just tried it a couple of days ago and it worked fine.

Photo's are good and sharp especially when you set your printer to maximum pixels. However do not expect the "crispness" you get using photo paper. For all of your card printing this is excellent card stock. I have yet to have a sheet get stuck in my printer which happened a lot with the previous brand I was using. Happy card maker here!
