I make invitations & am looking for a color laser that will work well on specialty card stock that won't work in my inkjet. Will this printer work?

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.

Sandy, this is a good printer, but before investing, contact Brother and find out if the paper curl can be remedied. There is a setting to "reduce paper curl" in the options menu of the printer, but it does not seem to fix the problem for me. It appears as though the roller location causes the paper to make a tight turn and therefore causes any type of paper to curl.

Hi Sandy - I've only used regular paper and only owned it for a few weeks. If it's any help, the user's guide (pg4) states: do not use paper which is highly textured or extremely smooth, or has a chemical coating. It does work for various types of paper...heavy, light etc. however.If you google "Brother hll8350 printer user's guide" the guide should come up. Page 4 goes into types of paper, envelopes, labels to be used. That said, I'm quite happy with the printer for my purposes. As someone else advised, I'd contact Brother Customer Service. Supposedly they are helpful.Good luck. Hi Sandy - I've only used regular paper and only owned it for a few weeks.

From the Brother web page re paper: Sheet Weight - Paper Tray - 16-28 lbs. (bond)Sheet Weight - Multi-purpose Tray - 16-43 lbs. (bond) I have only used "regular" paper, but I hope this helps. It's a great printer. You may want to put an invitation on a flash drive, bring a piece of you card stock and visit a local retailer to see if you can print from the flash drive (there's a USB port for it). You may want to review the online manual to make sure your settings are correct when printing from a flash drive.best of luck!

I had trouble with heavy stock paper. The rollers jam the paper. So, I would expect that heavy card stock might. But, if you're referring to invitation or christmas card stock paper, it will work, but you can't do a very long run. Better to print in batches. Hope this helps.

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

I have used it on a laser printer -color - without a problem. Works well colors are brilliant

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.

No, it doesn't work on my HP color laserjet laser printer. I bought it thinking it would but the color will not even stick to it! :(

Boy,..that's a good question...I have an inkjet all in one and this paper is the best!...no idea if it works with laser printers....I just looked all over the box and the only thing I can find is this little logo that says "works with....kodak, epson, dell, lexmark, brother, canon, and hp"...but it does'nt tell what kind of printer......just the brand

It didn't work for me in my laser printer. I think you'll need an injet printer

Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, this product is a plain matte uncoated label stock, it should work with any standard laser or inkjet printer. Please let us know if you have any questions or if there is anything else we can do to help.Best regards,Label Outfitters, Inc.

No, this is just a fine color ink jet printer...lots of all-in-ones out there...just not this one.

I haven't tried that specific printer with these discs but they should work. Some folks have noted that blacks sometimes shift in color to dark blue with certain model printers on these discs. Perhaps try a small quantity and compare with traditional, non-glossy inkjet discs and see which you prefer. I think the glossy surface looks much more professional.

It should. I used it for wedding invitations for a coworker and it worked great. At first I was worried the ink wouldn't stick or that it would jam going through my printer since it is so thick but they turned out great! Everyone thought they were done professionally. No smudges or anything.

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.

Yes. It will print on card stock. I just tried it a couple of days ago and it worked fine.

I have used it only with an inkjet printer and I think it wouldn't work with a laser printer since laser printers get hot. I would look for a shrink paper specifically made to go through a laser printer.

I never printed on card stock but the printer only lasted for about 200 sheets and then broke down. I have over $400 invested with toner for nothing more than an over-sized electronic paperweight.

Since they are powdered toner cartridges, not ink, they should not. That is why I replaced my inkjet color 4-in-1 with the Dell laser 4-in-1. I have had it for about a year in Santa Fe, NM--the state capital of Dry--without a problem.
