Heaviest card stock? Can pretty much any AIO handle heavy card stock/index card weight (100-110 lb)?

I've seen lots of reviews about printing photos, I don't do much of that. I'd like to know how well it prints card stock and envelopes. I work with card programs. I use heavy weight card stock and print envelopes. The envelopes give the most problems. HP printers have a guide that slides over to hold the envelope in place. I need to know if the Canon has a guide or envelope slot. I've had Canon printers in the past and eally liked them but they wouldn't print envelopes properly. The envelope would move out of alighnment without a guide.

The 100 lb weight was too thick- I got only a partial punch-through even when I leaned on the punch. The lower weight card stock works very well for me (the weight you get in scrapbook paper kits). Very thin paper (like printer paper) scrunches up, but with care you can punch it and carefully ease it out. Hope this helps.

not sure what by "heavy stock" you mean. Te most I tried was 30 pages of 24lb weight; the puncher hesitated, but handled it nicely. It is heavy duty, but for your application I am not sure if you require better one. From the other hand, Amazon has excellent returning policy. FYI: the stapler is made in China.

Inkjet cards are thicker than laser cards (I use both). I can't address the thickness of index cards---don't use them--but these are quite thick and work nicely in my Canon inkjet printer. I have a Dell laser and buy another product for those which is thinner. If you're familiar with card stock this product is probably at least 80 lb weight.

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

Hello SunnyTN! 1 sheet of Wausau Paper Index Card stock weighs out at 11 grams. I have previously purchased Avery brand Inkjet Postcard/Index card stock, and 1 sheet weighs out to 9 grams. I'd say the Wausau Paper Index card stock would make a perfect postcard!

I honestly don't know about index cards, but the heavy stock photo paper that I used, that was 5x7, fit perfectly, slid into the slots without any problem, and was not tight at all.

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.

We had trouble with card stock. It will not take anything thicker than copier paper. Unless there is a setting we have not found that will change that.

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.

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.

Joan, I bought the HP e8100 printer and it will not take the 110 lb card stock either, eventhough it says it takes card stock and has no weight limit listed. The HP tech support in India told me that the printer was working just fine because it printed on regular paper without a problem. He said that I needed to contact Adobe because it was a problem with the Adobe file that I was trying to print. (The printer would not grab the paper and feed it thru the machine) Calling tech support was a waste of time. I am returning the machine.

I would think so, the only issue might be if your card stock was large enough to fall over the edge... it might end up bending.

It can fit/ print pretty good on 100lb card stock just when you print under printer controls make sure you select first Print Settings>MEdia Type> Premium Presentation Paper Matte. This makes the printer know your printing on card stock. In the printers instructions it will say what each media types settings can be used for various Lb thickness. So the printer knows what speed and quality to print on to avoid jams. If you can clarify the paper it is (company and type/ color) I can give a more clear review since I print on most specialty heavy weight papers papers.

Expect jamming problems with 110 lb index and 80 lb card stock (they are about the same weight and thickness). I wouldn't use this unit for anything greater than 60 lb card stock. But check the operating manual or go on the KM website to confirm the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the printer's official limitations. Be aware that very heavy stock cannot be flipped over without jamming except in those units that are specifically made to handle heavy stock, like the Xante Ilumina.
