What is the standard paper thickness this card will cut? Will it do 100lb card stock?

I do my card in 110lb stock and no problem at all. You have to do one page (10 Cards) at a time. but goes very quickly.

I am currently cutting 110lb card on this cutter. After 250 sheets this card cutter is still cutting perfectly.

50 lb paper is not cardstock, but that opens up a huge can o worms about basis weights, US vs Euro measurements and so on. If you use 110 lb COVER stock it will work but of course you must feed it one sheet at a time. This is one of the few printers which (more or less) sets to print on heavier stock better: it simply slows the paper down so the heat can heat up the heavier paper a little more. So when you go to the print dialog and set the paper "type" I think you will notice there are really 7 levels -- there has to be an odd number so that "normal" is in the "middle" and when it says Card Glossy 176-220 gm that is the slowest print speed therefore it heats the paper the most. All I can say about this printer is it's simply LESS ANNOYING than most others.

It will punch regular card stock no problem. You'd have to experiment to find out how many sheets it will do at one time.

Explaining Paper Thickness vs. WeightCover/Card Stock varies in thickness and weight. For example, a 10 pt card is 0.010 inches (0.254 mm) thick (roughly corresponding to a weight of 250 grams per square meter); a 12 pt card is 0.012 inches (0.3048 millimeters).

Yes it is very easy to use! The thicker the card stock, the better. It will cut through the thinner cardstock. Practice on paper first!

It's pretty thin, roughly the thickness of business card paper.so I'd say just under 1/16" roughly.

I have used card stock as pamphlet covers and this machine cleanly punches. Today, I tested four sheets of cardstock. The machine punched through all four sheets cleanly and smoothly, without any extra effort. I have never used cardstock heavier than the usual 65 paperweight. Hope this helps. Thanks.

I do fine art printing and I love using this as reference: http://www.paper-paper.com/weight.html The paper is noting 110 lb Index, which is about a 9 pt. thickness and matching the picture, 199 gsm. I wouldn't exactly recommend this for professional business card printing, but the extra weight is definitely pretty good to have. If you can get 12 pt. or higher (1pt. or 1 mil represents a thousandths (0.001") of an inch), it'll definitely do better for you.

I've used card stock with no problem; although, I don't have the package so I'm not sure of the exact weight. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Overall, this has been a great printer.

Yes it will. I use 60# card stock on a regular basis. There is a straight pass through by opening two doors in the printer, one in front for infeed and one in back for outfeed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've printed on cardstock, not sure if that's 100 LB or not- I make my own greeting cards from paintings I've done. It worked as well as on the regular weight paper. I do bump up the black a little when printing scans.

Heavy compressed paper card board about one eighth inch thick. Better than bar stock. Clean white.

Yes. This is why I bought one. You need the straight paper path becaus heavy stock won't work with a regular paper tray. This printer has both.I have used 110# paper, but I really like the Hammermill 80# card stock.It is bright white and folds well.
