How does it print on glossy card stock? Does the toner show as rough print on the glossy card surface, or is it glossy and smooth like the card finish

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've never tried printing to glossy car/paper. The color depth and realism compared to the actual item being printed is very good.....as long as you aren't printing in black!!

I've actually had good success with glossy card stock on photo print settings it's not as glossy as an inkjet but it doesn't bleed either.

Hi Mciver. I haven't tried printing on a glossy card stock yet, so I'm not sure if it will show a glossy or smooth finish, but I think I know exactly what you're asking. I have seen some prints that have a glossy finish from laser printers, even if it is just on a regular paper. The prints on this one has a more luster/matter finish instead of glossy (when printing pictures).

I seldom print on greeting card stock - when I do I use the other printer in my office, an Epson Artisan 837 dye ink printer. I will feed a few sheets at a time.

Yes. We print a lot of stuff on card stock with our's and it prints nicely. Also prints on photo paper very nicely too.

I haven't gone through a cartridge yet. It is working good. There was some smearing on the first few pages I printed after I installed it, but it went away.

No its not glossy, its more of a smooth sheen. I really recommend it highly, its thicker than most card stock and I got raves about the quality of my Christmas cards. Plus the price is reasonable.

Photo's are good and sharp especially when you set your printer to maximum pixels. However do not expect the "crispness" you get using photo paper. For all of your card printing this is excellent card stock. I have yet to have a sheet get stuck in my printer which happened a lot with the previous brand I was using. Happy card maker here!

I use this paper all the time. I make a calendar each each and use this paper. It isn't thick like card stock, but it thicker than average paper. You would be wise to mount the print before you frame it, the paper can curve due to environmental conditions (humidity etc). But it is nice paper. I also have the same printer, so you are in good shape.

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.

Mine started getting streaky at 5,200 pages with 5% toner left. I am sure I could have cleaned, shaken, and gotten a few hundred more pages out but I did not want my print quality to degrade. It has performed flawlessly and for the price I recommend it. Same print quality as factory HP toners.

It is but I'm not sure if I'm going to go with generic toner any more. I've had multiple issues with them on different printers, including this one. I've been told to stick with brand name cartridges even though they cost more. The issue I'm having with this (same issue with my other printer using generic toner) is the black and color ink streaks the page or prints out faded, despite having a lot of toner left in the cartridge. The generic toner can ruin the printer head. I hope this helps.

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 have not noticed any coating as they have a matte finish. There is a smooth finish but not slick or glossy. I have never had any problem with using an ink jet printer and never any smearing of ink on the cards I use. I've used this product for many years and am completely satisfied.

The cards print beautifully on laser printers. I use laser because it bakes the ink, and it won't smudge like some ink jet printers

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.

Tip on printing greeting cards. Use Matte finish presentation paper. Make them 1/4 fold design. You'll get awsome quality and they're easier to fold than card stock anyway. It's normally 32 to 35# HP brand seems to be the best value at this time. That said....I don't think I want this printer as I often need to print on heavy paper for other print jobs.

No. The paper is not glossy. So far, it has not smeared, and I occasionally do two-sided printing. The only time I had a smear issue is when I printed on standard envelopes. A call to Canon (I have a Pixma inkjet printer) and they suggested changing my settings when I print envelopes. Their suggestion worked perfectly. After I printed my envelopes, I went back to my normal settings. Canon support is excellent, even for Canon products beyond warranty. If you have a smearing issue, I suggest calling the printer manufacturer. Hope this is helpful.

paper isn't glossy and I've been using it for 2 sided color copies without the ink running through. It's definitely an excellent paper to use.
