I run 80 lb cardstock through it all the time with no issues. Go for it. Works great!

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.

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.

Sorry, I'm not sure. I've never tried. Why don't you call/contact Canon customer service? Or if you go to Canon's website, I do believe they have online manuals you can read for your model. As for me, the volume of the printer has never been an issue. Good luck.

Hey there. I haven't done cardstock but I do frequently print on heavy watercolor paper without any issues. I also know that the printer allows you to select cardstock as the paper type.

I print 110 card stock all the time on this printer. The settings have to be right. Never a paper jam but it does put a little crimp on the top of the paper. I do not get that crimp with a lighter weight card stock (80).

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 don't know. All I can tell you is the Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II paper I ordered was labeled 73 lbs. It was an above average weight and worked well enough for wedding photos.

I use this printer for card stock (24pt blister cards which is heavier than 100lb stock), using the rear sheet feeder. (The stock I use is 4" x 5", so I can't try it in the paper tray.) 100lb card stock will work fine through the rear feeder - I'm not sure how it will work through the paper tray.

Hi, in the multipurpose tray, the printer will use 50 or 60 lb card stock. Look at this link on page four for technical specifications: http://www.printermalls.com/pdfs/MB451w.pdf. Let us know if we can be of further help. Printermalls

I use all weights of photo paper- some heavier than cardstock and this printer does just fine from thin to heavy weighted paper, thick photo paper and cardstock. I'm not sure if it would handle actual cardboard, as I don't use anything that heavy. I set my printer on ALL TYPES of paper on the menu and it automatically adjusts for the thickness. My printer handles any paper or cardstock and it's great to have it adjust automatically. I hope this answers your question.

I use regular 8 1/2 x 11 office paper and print mostly text and have never used photo paper. I know it will cost you more but stick with the Canon ink cartridges and you should have no compatibility problems. The printer is compact and I have had no problems with my Canon iP 1800

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

I do not know the highest weight of the paper this printer can print, but I think it will print on the paper you thinking of. To do the test I folded 13"x19", 51lb/192g/m2=10.3 mil matte paper, and glued with spray adhesive, and ironed to make it dry and stiff. I fed this 9.5"x13" paper of 102lb/384g/m2=20.6 mil paper to rear slot, and noticed paper will go through the printer, and when I printed a photo, it printed without problem. But I don't think this printer handle the thick paper from the cassette, you have to feed from rear slot one by one.

I have printed on 80lb and it works perfectly and I just recently got 120 lb but haven't been able to try it. I will try it and let you know.

I had trouble with heavy stock paper. The rollers jam the paper. So, I would expect that heavy card stock might. But, if you're referring to invitation or christmas card stock paper, it will work, but you can't do a very long run. Better to print in batches. Hope this helps.

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"
