Does this print card stock? Or, are there paper jams?

Yes, it prints card stock quite well. You have to load it in the top tray and will have to flip it manually if you are printing on both sides.

I have never used card stock (yet)...but I have owned Canon Printers for YEARS-- and I could count ALL the paper-jams on one hand, and not use all the fingers... Others have said they printed card-stock just fine.

It prints card stock from the rear tray fine, also envelopes, labels, picture stock, and runs fine, it just eats all the ink you can buy!!!! I have printed about 200 sheets now and have had to buy three sets of ink cartridges, as it warms up, it eats ink by "cleaning" the nozzles. It takes about 2 minutes to "clean" and two seconds to print.

I have not tried card stock, other than Avery 3297 half fold greeting cards and it works fine with them. I have never had a paper jam. I use this printer for my professional digital photo prints.

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.

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.

I cannot answer the card stock question, but I have not been able to print an envelope at this time. I have tried several different method with no luck. I have been using label for the envelope. Glossy photo paper you cannot use in this printer as it will mess up the print roller and you will have to run many paper through many times to stop smear on new documents.

Cool thanks for the info. I will go with this printer while there is such a great sale going on. I needed to know that card stock worked OK and that I could stack it in.

Photo quality card stock paper? No. It holds good color but its not photo quality. I use this paper to print post cards for mailing. I cut the paper in 4th. It does run through the copier well and I print on both sides.

Yes! I've used multiple types of card stock and it prints great! The cardstock is a little curved after being printed on but otherwise it's perfect.

I went on-line to chat on this topic with Lexmark support. They explicity say they can't duplex copy on card stock, but in reality, they can't print either in duplex. It's not stated anywhere in the literature. If you are trying to create greeting cards or anything of that nature, this is a wreck. Very bad.

We've printed envelopes with no issues... We haven't printed note cards, but we print on card stock (full size sheets) from time to time with no issues.

We have not used it for card stock yet so I can not tell you, sorry! So far we haven't had any issues, the scan function is a little slow and cumbersome but the printing is fine so far, colors are good.

No, this printer cannot handle thick card stock. It takes paper from a bottom tray and then bends the paper in a 'U' shape internally to print and exit to you. As such, any stock that cannot bend easily may either not be taken in or may jam during printing. I've tried with thick watercolor paper for example, and the printer was unable to grab the paper. I suggest you look for a gravity feed printer for printing on thick stock.

That's a bit difficult to answer without knowing exacting what kind of stock it is. If it is a cotton or linen stock, it really shouldn't, but if it is a heavier card like stock with a bit of a shine to it or a very smooth finish, that could be the problem. That said, I don't get the best results printing on good stock either. It doesn't smudge, but after about 30-40 envelopes, I end up with a vertical line on every envelope. My best guess is that it is the printer itself.

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.

Hello!I print my own cards and I have two printers that I have used to print cards using this card stock. I have a Hewelett Packard (HP) Officejet Pro 8500 (it's the older of my two printers) and a Canon MG 6220. actually, both printers do a fine job of printing using this card stock. (I make all of my cards for Birthday's, get well, etc.) I love doing it and this card stock works very nicely. Betsy

Very poorly. Even with laser-specific (which is thinner) card stock such as Avery 5876. It refuses to feed from the manual tray about 80% of the time, reporting a 'jam" when there isn't one. When it does feed, more thn half of the time it doesn't feed it straight so you waste a lot of expensive card stock. Don't buy it if you need to print card stock often.

Mine does NOT print Cardstock... Prints on Photo and regular paper just fine though.

I print all sorts of custom card stock for gift cards, note cards, photos, etc. You may have to make some adjustments since the paper guide adjusts to the center rather than the left margin, but you can figure that one out.
