Can it print on card stock paper

The documentation indicates that the printer can print on card stock paper but I have not tried that yet.

Yes it can, from the top cartridge. The bottom cannot feed card stock. I load the regular paper in the lower tray, card stock in the upper and set the defaults on our computers as the lower tray so I can print thick stock whenever I want.

i print on card stock and on picture grade most days. (if you are printing several pictures i'd do it one at a time to give each copy a chance to dry or it may smear a bit)

Actually the answer is no. You have to babysit the printer and feed every 1 to 3 cards after awhile. Very disappointing. I don't believe there is a good solution based on internet message boards.

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.

I've used it to print on 110lb card stock, with varying results. A lot of it depends on the program you're printing from. I've had good success using photoshop managed color profiles and printing to the card stock.

Yes it prints greeting card stock beautifully. I use hallmark software and set the printer up according to the softwares instructions. Once you do this the software remembers and instructs you each time how to insert the card stock.

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.

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.

There does not seem to be a way to load paper into anything but the paper tray. This means the paper has to be pulled through the printer in a tight U paper path, so unless your card stock can bend like that, I don't think it would work well.

I have printed on 8 1/2 inch label sheets--works well, they've never jammed. I have not used the printer for card stock as of yet.

Yes. This printer has an input and output for a straight-through paper path, such as thick card stock. That was one of the features I was specifically shopping for when I bought this printer.

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

I can print on Avery Business Cards by filling the tray with paper and then feeding one sheet at a time on top. Will not print from bottom of tray or part full. Hope this helps.

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.

It's worked well when I've used it with cover stock or photo paper. I'm about to try a project with card stock and will report back.

Yes it will provided you use a normal card stock (i.e. business card stock or greeting card stock). Thicker stocks tend to slip or jam. One other caveat - the stock will come out with a slight curve or bend to it, so you have to bend it back into a flat piece of paper. No big deal, just want you to be aware. The machine is rock solid and produces very nice images. (Oh, and don't use glossy stock unless it is specifically formulated for laser printers instead of inkjet printers. The ink won't fuse to glossy stock and will smear right off the paper.) Hope that helps.

Sorry, but I didn't try it with card stock. It fed regular paper just fine, but the tray required reconfiguring for anything not letter size, and, along with being big, complicated, and generally unhandy, it didn't fit in here and I sent it back.

This will help. Use regular pinter paper on the bottom half of your stack then put your card stock on top of the regular paper and you will be on your way to printing. this works great. Just remember to keep track so you don't waste paper and ink printing the the paper you don't want your stuff printed on.

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.
