Cardstock and business cards? Someone suggested using the "heavy paper" setting -- does that work?

I bought this piece of @@****///@@@ and it will not print on greeting card stock. I had an HP in the past and printed my Christmas cards every year with no problem - I wish I could return it, but I bought it three months ago.

I haven't used cardstock yet. I just tried printing a cardstock insert for dvd case and had no problem printing it but I did just one sheet.

Yes it will print on cardstock. I've done it before. Use the multi-purpose paper tray. Don't use the standard paper trays, they're not made for that.

Hi Lovelylady,Thank you for your inquiry!Manufacturer states that they can use card stock as long as the paper is no thicker than 11 mils. Some of the papers in our catalog will state the mil thickness.BisonOffice

I don't recall trying cardstock through the printer in the past, mostly because the toner is so expensive. When I've printed jobs that need cardstock I printed high volume so I used my printers that use cheap cartridges. Anyway, I just tried a 110 lb cardstock through the HP MFP M175. It worked fine printing a detailed b&w; image.

I'm not sure how thick of a card stock you are using but I use 100lb matte card stock paper all the time on this printer and it comes our flawlessly!

Make sure you have the paper type properly set. I accidently set mine to card stock, deactivating duplex printing for that tray.

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.

I found that printing on the back of a business card is just perfect! Use Avery or other brand of printable business sheets and it will work real well.

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.

well, yes... it's not quite as thick as you might like though. It's more like butcher paper or a very sturdy construction paper, but it will certainly bend/not stay flat with any kind of weight on it. might want heavier card stock for that.

Use Strathmore Stamping cards to mount my pictures since I like the paper wt and quality. Tried Avery for slightly larger size. Liked quality & weight of paper. Each sheet gives you 2 cards. Crisp clean lines and set folds makes for easy use. Card stock quality. Good luck. Marie :)

I've had no problems with it feeding thick card stock paper. I've used French Paper #100 weight which is really dense and it feed & prints nicely. But I also recommend printing in small batches.

A standard business envelope will work. There is no information in the owners manual or setup manual regarding thicker paper stock. Brother does have some helpful information on their web site where they suggest projects to do, some of which APPEAR to use heavier paper. I would suggest you research the paper issue directly with Brother

Sure, I use card stock and don't change any settings, but I usually only put in one or two sheets at a time. You should be able to use the "labels" that are the right size and have the perforated edges. Just remember to put the sheets in face side down if there is a difference on how the sheets look front and back.

I use card stock in the MPF and had a few quirks with it wanting to grab 2 or 3 sheets at a time. Never used card stock or business cards in Tray. What I failed to realize is that I was suppose to fan the card stock to keep the pages from sticking together. That fixed the problem. If appointment cards are the same as business cards then it will work great. If not, I can't tell you anything about that.

Card stock works fine from the rear sheet feeder but not from the tray, of course. You get pretty good quality if you tell the printer you're using "matte photo paper" instead of "plain paper".
