Will this printer print on bristal board or cardstock?

Definitely, I use mine on 110 lb card stock all the time, have never had a misfeed or backfire. I love this printer for all the different papers and sizes it uses.

Yes. I have used 80lb paper and it works fine. I would not go any higher though it might be fine.

Card stock, yes. I have used with a variety of heavier stocks. I am not familiar with the bristol board by that name but from reading its description I would expect that it would also print fine, if heavier card stocks work.

Doesn't matter which side (or both) of the paper you print on. Your printer needs to be capable of double sided printing or you know how to manually print double sided.

I have not been able to get my Epson XP-400 to print on any medium-heavy weight card stock, even when I hand feed it single sheets. I have a friend who was able to ram a few sheets of 100# pages through, but then the printer wouldn't pull any type of paper through after that. I highly recommend you don't ram paper through - the person below who says "Its' not an HP" so you can rough the printer up does not appear to be trustworthy or logical.

Great printer EXCEPT for the issue with card stock. I've tried 32lb stock and still no luck

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

I have not tried card stock. It is a good printer and my only regret is that it requires Epson ink.

Don't know. The printer was so cheap. It broke. Was replaced byBrother and then I gave it away to a friend.

If you are planning to print on card stock, I would strongly suggest you not buy this printer. Card stock, even the light cardstock such as business cards will not feed consistently...gets worse as the printer is used. Look for a printer that has a rear feed. I bought a Canon IP4920 for that purpose alone...it works great. The Epson 730 has a lot of nice features and works well as a network printer (but doesn't support Windows 8...yet) I love the little special drawer that prints on CD/DVDs....works great....software for that (and the scanner) is nice as well.

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.

I have a xerox Workcenter color laser and it worked without any problems. Have only done B&W; text. Haven't tried color prints yet. I believe the paper was designed for high end brochures, menus, etc.

It is a little lighter than cardstock. We printed them with my home 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.

I don't know for sure because I returned the printer because it could not print front and back - two sided.

Sorry, I don't know. My strong recommendation is that you read all the reviews on Amazon. My experience seems all too typical. I would rate this as by far the worst printer I ever purchased. It looks superb but is packed with hardware, communications and software glitches.

I cannot answer the card stock question, but I have not been able to print an envelope at this time. I have tried several different method with no luck. I have been using label for the envelope. Glossy photo paper you cannot use in this printer as it will mess up the print roller and you will have to run many paper through many times to stop smear on new documents.

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.

Not sure exactly what you are asking. However I was able to print on heavy linen stock of non-standard size. This printer has very nice quality color prints but after one year of relatively light use I got a warning message that the printer needed service. I called Epson to schedule shipment but was told that the service fee was about as much as buying a new printer. Check out a few other reviews on other sites - you'll probably be reading similar stories. While it worked, it made some beautiful prints.
