I bought the 2in round and round and can't seem to get it to work! I have used regular computer paper and 65 lb card stock. Neither will cut at all.

It must not be functioning properly. It works real easy on both paper & card stock and construction paper as well.

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.

I have successfully laminated two sheets of 65lb card stock together in a pocket. One would think that if the paper were too thick the machine wouldn't accept it, but I have not experienced any problems.

It most definitely won't cut a 2mm. soft wood. It's a good & precise tool, but only for light duty use. - It will handle business card thickness cardstock, but nothing more. - I have since obtained a Zutter Round-it-All Heavy Duty Corner Rounder to cut the 1/32" card I use. The cut isn't as clean as I would like, but it beats doing it by hand with scissors. Martha Stewart makes an inexpensive heavy-duty corner rounder that I would like to try, but they don't say what the radius of the cut is. (I require a 1/8" radius, equivalent to a 1/4" diameter.) If you search corner rounder on eBay, you will see many varieties from light duty to heavy duty table mounted ones.

Thick paper option is no good for cardstock or Avery biz cards. Did not work. Do not get this printer.Epson says it is not meant to do cardstock or Avery stock. That is a buch of bunk.Do not buy this printer. The rollers for feeding are too sensitive and jam frequently. Am on the 3rd replacement, that should tell you- it is pure junk!!

I just tried an old gift card, and the machine cuts most of the card horizontally - the papers do get cross cut though. It appears that the machine is designed with a certain length where the cross cut happens, that may be the reason the card shred came mostly horizontal.

I have printed on 8 1/2 inch label sheets--works well, they've never jammed. I have not used the printer for card stock as of yet.

You're the second person I've tried to help with this issue. According to Brother it will not handle card stock. 30 lb paper is probably its limit. Other than that, this is an excellent, reliable, fast, easy to maintain, with lower cartridge costs than its competitors.

Deck of cards are thicker than my paper. If I put two of these papers together, it should be about the right thickness as deck of cards. I am going to buy thicker paper the next time I order. My printer can print my paper with no problems. Now, just an idea, go look into Silhouette Cameo Starter Bundle Kit, this is very interesting, I think you will like to try it. I plan to buy it very soon. Take care Thomas

I have one, too. It accepts card stock fine, but the print quality thereon is abysmal. What settings do you use?Thanks!

I suggest using a decent quality card stock (available at walmart, kmart, craft stores in both stationery and craft sections) and laminating it - that would be a much better way to make stiff cards - this will disappoint you for that purpose.

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 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 ia a bit of a pain.Cut the edge of the paper roll. Then push it in as far as you can but make sure the edges don't curl. While holding it in push the feed button.Good luck.

Yes I have been successfully using 110 lb 199 g/m^2 card stock without issues. With the straight through printing setting (open the back) it will only have a small curl at the end of the page. I don't think the printer can handle card much thicker though.

It cuts regular cardstock easily (about 65 lb paper). Is that what you meant? The kind used for card-making and scrapbooking? If that's what you meant,no problem! And if it starts to get "dull", but fold over some tin foil and punch a few circles; it should sharpen it up again.

I personally have not used it on card stock, but the way it cuts paper, I would think this wouldn't be a problem. I regularly cut 10 pages of coupons at time on it with no problem. I hope this helps.
