I need to make sure this printer will FEED and print VERY HEAVY cardstock. I *think* the card stock is 110 lb. Anyone have experience here?

I do not know how heavy is 110lb card stock but you can print on the birthday cards we get from hallmark.

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.

No answer, just want to concur. The printer claims it can handle cardstock by offering a paper setting in its printer manager software for cardstock but it always jams when trying to feed it from the tray.

The heaviest we've printed is 140 lb paper by Strathmore. We also print greeting and post cards; aside of drymounting photo paper to card stock (whose photo quality absolutely can't be beat), the best paper we've found for iP8720 direct printing is Canson Stamping Cards (beats Strathmore's inket offerings hands-down; we found it on Dick Blick's site). I don't know if Canson publishes this specific product's weight, but it's probably around ~110 lbs.

Hi, I've been using 192gm which is not as heavy but still quite thick and I've had no problems. I've never tried a heavier stock. I would assume if you are paying for a larger printer it should be able to accommodate heavier stock anyway.

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 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.

I tried it just for you! I have 20 pound card stock. It printed just like it does on normal paper. This is a great printer for a small price. AND, the biggest bonus I think, the ink is relatively cheap and lasts! I can not say enough good things about this little printer.

Even though it says 110 lbs I dont think it is. I think it is less. Maybe 90 lbs. The paper also looks the same on both sides. I like the cardstock inspite of this. I print in color and laminate them. It takes color well and that is important to me.

Heavy weight card stock...quality product...I have printed several cards using this product. :)

The ink is not of superior quality if you are looking to print photos or school projects. It is not pigment based. Also, the printer does not accept 110 pound stock. It jams. I have run photo paper though and it works fine. It won't work on card stock. Hope that helps. I did have a wonderful Canon Pixma printer years ago that was fabulous for photos, but don't keep up with the technology.

I'm sorry, I don't have any experience with card stock in this printer....I know you can find the manual online at the Brother USA website, it may have the answer you want.

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 have printed lighter card-stock on mine before. It would still need to wrap around the roller, so the super heavy stuff might be a problem.

Yes, it does print wonderfully on 90 to 110lb. card stock.If your an avid fan of re-filling your own ink cartridges, this printer is super easy to do.If not E-bay is a great place to buy re-placement cartridges,for a fraction of the cost of buying from a retail store.And the quality is just as good.

Since the paper does a 180 degree turn out of the tray and into the print path you'd need to stay within guidelines for paper thickness and flexibility. Anything thicker than standard inkjet photo stock will give you problems. There's no rear single sheet feed as some printers have for thick stocks. Other than that I really like this printer.

How thick of a cardstock? I think with this printer it would (I haven't tried it but I did use a thicker photo paper which worked fine). Because the paper is stored in the bottom paper holder, unlike older printers where paper was top loaded and prone to mistakes. But I would think it would work for the 600.
