Can you print on 100 lb cover stock? That's 83/m weight, &gt;216 gsm? And does it create a curl in the printed sheet?

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.

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.

Although rated for 58 lbs paper(per the manual), I have fed through 65 lbs paper with no issues. Ironically, it does give you a choice for even heavier stock in the Print dialogue window for paper options. The only issue with heavier stock is that if you fill up the paper tray to the rim, it jams often. You can solve this issue by not going over the 70% capacity in the paper tray.

We regularly use ours to print on 130# cover without problems as long as it's fed through the rear slot one by one. This is one of two printers we've found that can handle the very heavy weight of our paper!

I've used it to print on 110lb card stock, with varying results. A lot of it depends on the program you're printing from. I've had good success using photoshop managed color profiles and printing to the card stock.

Joan, so I got this email from Amazon asking if I could answer your question. I'm just another user like you and all I can say is that I'm using it with 65 lb paper and it works fine. I didn't know that they set a 110 lb limit on it and I'll probably not have occasion to use that heavy of card stock. Are you trying to print 2 sided printing? If so, you may try just printing single side, then refeeding. That's pretty heavy stock. Good luck.

The printer is not very ruggied. Would not use it for heavy stock on a routine basis.

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.

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.

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.

This printer works great with 100lb (271gsm) cover stock. Most of my printing is on heavyweight stock i.e. 270gsm Bristol board and 330gsm art paper - this Epson WorkForce WF-7510 has not jammed once. I would not try the 600gsm paper that my Canon Pro9000 MKII can take because the Epson path is not straight like the Canon and I would expect it to jam.

OK, I have read the manual and read LOTS of online reviews and my answer would be it is NOT recommended for cardstock. People who HAVE run cardstock through it have eventually had trouble with the rollers not grabbing. There is a 'mode' for "Epson Presentation Paper - Heavyweight Matte" which is #44. The cardstock I have is #65. IF you need to run primarily cardstock, I would advise against it. OR be sure to change the setting to the Presentation Paper mode. If you can get by with a 44 pound weight paper, then it seems that this printer can handle it. I would guess an occasional piece of cardstock won't kill it but if you primarily print cardstock you might want a more robust printer. Hope this helps! PS. I usually use a high quality paper to print normal copies and it's #22 - just for comparison.

The manual says it can handle up to 68 lb. stock, using their printer properties menu setting for "thick paper." I have used 67 lb paper (sometimes called "cover stock") with no trouble. This can be used for business cards, but they are more commonly printed on 80 lb. stock.

It will print 67 pound cover stock ( Staples brand ) flawlessly. I use cover stock for my DVD and CD jewel case covers.

Yes you can do. with 92lb you wont have any problem to print in home. But becaful because some times depend of your printer.

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.

Yes, it can be used, but I would prefer a heavier stock. My printer at this time can't handle anything heavier.
