Which product do you recomend for cardstock and card making.
1124778
Though I don't personally make cards to know for certain, I do believe this one could handle it because I can cut approximately 5-8 sheets of paper at a time depending on the thickness. I've cut more in a hurry but the cut isn't as straight or clean going with too many.

If you need to make exact, repeatable cuts enmasse, I do not think this is the tool. To do that you will spend hundreds of dollars. This is a budget friendly tool, designed for occasional use. ( In my opinion )

I would not recommend very heavy cards or index cards, if you stay close to an index card paper weight you should be good. But they are so pretty two wood not be bad to have!

I would recommend it for card stock but not all other papers. By foam are you thinking thin open cell foam sheet for that I would say yes. But it will not work on foam core stock.

Paper. They are good, heavy cards. They are not so big that you can't actually play with them.

Yes. I use card stock to create greeting cards and business cards all of the time with no problems.The colors are crisp and the feed is pretty fast considering it's an ink jet printer.IO do find that the machine is sensative when it gets down to the last 2 or three pages. Sometimes it reacts as if the paper ran out. so, just make sure you have a nice fill of paper in the feed tray.I also have a Pixma MP560. The 560 has two feeds and both work perfectly.I bought the MG5420 because it works with wirelessly my Ipad and iphone and, a rare feature; it prints on CD's and DVD's. Yes.

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.

I also haven't used card stock paper in the printer. I use mine mostly for work related printing and the thickest paper I have used was 24 lb. bonded paper that worked fine.

Have used both the basic and deluxe versions. I have found over the years that any of the deluxe versions of card s/w is worth every penny as there are more options as well as more cards. I literally created hundreds of cards per year, so options in design, wording, and creativity are appreciated greatly. As I said in my review of Hallmark's product, the upgrades with their many malfunctions are troublesome; but it the user can get past those problems, usage of the s/w is enjoyable.

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.

I bought mine from Cardrush. I was going for evilswarms and pulled a couple of ophions so it worked out pretty well.

I was just looking at the We R Memory Keepers board and consider getting one for my daughter. I have the Martha Steward because I don't make envelopes as must as I score card stocks. The MS is a must have for me (until a better board comes along). The envelope punch maker, according to my daughters review, is a better bet if your goal is mostly envelopes. It also appears to be able to make nice paper bows, and matchboxes also. you can also check out a few youtube links on both items. The main question is; Mostly scoring? or mostly envelopes? Hope this helps. Merry Christmas!

In general, ink jet or commercial printing may be best for heavy card stock. My experience with color laser printers of the home office variety is that they are very picky about maximum paper thickness and the max paper thickness they allow is not very thick. Even envelopes have caused me problems with home office variety color laser machines and even the commercial grade color laser for the printing company that did work for me allowed only moderate thickness of paper.

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

It's OK for small projects. I still can't figure out the parameters. Guess I am a numbers disadvantaged person. And, yes, you can use it for cardstock. Works fine.

I've used IBM's glossy card stock, available here on Amazon.com, and it works really, really well. Search for IBM GLOSSY GREETING, and you'll find it. We bought 240 of them. Of course, as mentioned above, it CAN get expensive if you don't have a CIS (Which I do, and it performs flawlessly).
