Card stock, heavyweight coated paper capable? Samsung CLP-315W Color Laser Printer Hello I wanted to know if this is a good printer for card stock paper so I can print business cards and postcards?

The printer is NOT capable of printing on card stock or even quality photo paper. It simply can not feed the heavier paper due to the sharp radius turns in the paper path. Other than that, I love the printer and have used it for 3 years with no problems.

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'm not sure about card stock. I do have direct experience with some majors issues with this model printer. We installed these for a few at least 8 clients. With in 6 months of installing we've had a 50% failure rate. This printer has some serious design flaws that Epson is aware of, bit they are still selling it. Don't by this model.

Anyone tried running laser label stock through this printer? I need one that will do that efficiently. Mary Dierbeck

The HP D7360 will print photos that are of very high quality if you use the HP paper. This printer will also print high quality photos on other photo paper. I have not tried printing on card stock with this printer but it would probably work fine for this.

My wife has printed several birthday cards (about 12) on 65 pound card stock with no problems. I recently bought 110 pound card stock, but I haven't tried it out yet. The printer works better then my old B&W HP 4 Laser that I had for 15 years until I couldn't get working toner cartridges, even from HP. I've also printed out a couple sheets of labels, no problem. Be careful, some labels are not to be used with COLOR laserjets. As a 24 years, self employed software engineer, with a LOT of printer experience, I can tell you this is a really nice printer. Ready to print in a reasonable amount of time, prints fast, good color (NOT photo quality, decent for all but the expert graphics users). Wireless setup is fast and easy. Wired setup via a router is also easy. I would buy again, if I needed one. Answers are based on about 3 months ownership experience.

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).

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 have not done card stocks but it did do a nice job on envelopes. I would reccomend this printer highly no problems so far.

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.

Tip on printing greeting cards. Use Matte finish presentation paper. Make them 1/4 fold design. You'll get awsome quality and they're easier to fold than card stock anyway. It's normally 32 to 35# HP brand seems to be the best value at this time.That said....I don't think I want this printer as I often need to print on heavy paper for other print jobs.

Very good on both. I have use the Hallmark card program with several HP printers that make a card identical to obes you can buy. With this Samsung printer it makes them almost identical to the inkjet. I say "almost" because it is not, but it is very close, and I think a different cardstock, might do the trick. Labels on Avery stock come out perfect. You can change the type of paper on the display. When you open the drawer for the paper and putting something different you ask you if you want to change the type of paper. Hope this answered your question.

Great printer EXCEPT for the issue with card stock. I've tried 32lb stock and still no luck

We've used it for printing address labes on Avery paper it works great. Never used card stock, but there are settings for thicker paper and card stock. My only complaint is the toner. It's expensive, when printing flyers where the entire page is covered in toner, the knock off toner cartridges cause big problems. But with the Samsung toner it works great.

I have not been able to get my Epson XP-400 to print on any medium-heavy weight card stock, even when I hand feed it single sheets. I have a friend who was able to ram a few sheets of 100# pages through, but then the printer wouldn't pull any type of paper through after that. I highly recommend you don't ram paper through - the person below who says "Its' not an HP" so you can rough the printer up does not appear to be trustworthy or logical.

yes, it does print on card stock. i often print on 8.5" x 11" stardream metallic 105lb card stock. i always use the straight feed path. as a side note, i've even sent karen foster design, inc., adhesive cork sheets through the straight feed with satisfactory print results!
