If you use good quality laminating products and some good sense (following instructions) you should be fine.I use mine for everything from outdoor signage to custom bookmarks with photo (for niece's memorial item)along with laminating special photos . . and everything has turned out superb! Glad I bought it!!

Because you are using tearaway stabilizer. Is this a denser design? Tear away is great for hand stitching and light stitching. "Redwork", etc. However, on more detailed and denser designs (especially the compact ones), you end up sewing yourself holes in the stabilizer and it no longer does its job. I had a lot of issues with this until I found out what was going on. I never have that problem with cut away stabilizer, which is better for garments and holds up better in the wash, too. I very rarely use tearaway because of this issue.

Use Strathmore Stamping cards to mount my pictures since I like the paper wt and quality.Tried Avery for slightly larger size. Liked quality & weight of paper. Each sheet gives you 2 cards.Crisp clean lines and set folds makes for easy use. Card stock quality. Good luck. Marie :)

How thick of a cardstock? I think with this printer it would (I haven't tried it but I did use a thicker photo paper which worked fine). Because the paper is stored in the bottom paper holder, unlike older printers where paper was top loaded and prone to mistakes. But I would think it would work for the 600.

I use it on this paper but there is some bleed through. I usually color on the card stock and then mount it on a colored cardstock to cover the bleed through. I would use a heavier cardstock but you don't get the nice fold crease. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't. I'm an experienced quilter and work in a quilt shop. For general machine Applique I would recommend Pellon wonder under (not heavy duty), misty fuse or steam a seam. It is a little less gummy for your needle and far less expensive. I use this to transfer hand embroidery designs onto fabric with my printer or copier. Good product but not right for what you are going to do in my humble opinion. Have fun!

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.

I can't answer the first two questions. The second one depends on how often you use it and on what types of projects. I use mine for smaller pieces in card making and scrapbooking--I use it on the pieces where an adhesive runner or double sided tape is too large or the piece is odd shaped or you need to get into the corners a bit better. Under those conditions, to me, it lasts quite a long time. No, it is not refillable.

hi, which cardstock do you use? i am thinking of printing my greeting cards and photos with this printer and am just getting started. i was hoping to print on 10 x 7 cards which fold to 5 x 7. thanks.

Hilary, no, the 'back' side of the double embossing plate does not affect your card stock if you put the card in with out folding it under the 'back side' of the plate. If you want only the front side to have an empression, the card would not be fully installed under the sandwitched plates, ie, the part part of the card to not be embossed is left out hanging in air with only one half (the front of the card) of it under the embossing plates. If the card was folded and placed folded under the embossing plate both 'pages' of the card would be affected, but I don't think that's your question. Embossing affects both sides of the paper, from one side it is 'pushed' out and from the other side it would be 'dented in'. This kit works well and am satisfied with patterns.

It cuts regular cardstock easily (about 65 lb paper). Is that what you meant? The kind used for card-making and scrapbooking? If that's what you meant,no problem! And if it starts to get "dull", but fold over some tin foil and punch a few circles; it should sharpen it up again.

I use this paper in my HP Photosmart plus without any issues. I have not printed pictures within my card but doubt it would be an issue since the card images are always good. The preferrerated fold is one of the better ones I've come across, it does not want to break up with folded. I've only done four sided cards. Just follow the instructions on the printer how to flip or turn your page to get the results as expected or you may print side two on side one. I've accidently done that, oops.

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.

The label on the package of this cardstock states "110/199 g/m2" (Basis) and "26.44 M" (M weight). I'm not sure what that means but this is not what you'd want if you were trying to make business cards. You'd want something stiffer or thicker. I use it as a cover for books and that application works well. In fact, it is about the same thickness as the cover of a paperback book. It's not shiny on one side. It's matte and smooth (but not slick) on both sides.

I run 80 lb cardstock through it all the time with no issues. Go for it. Works great!

I wouldn't recommend it. I used it on card stock and was very disappointed. You can it, but it isn't nearly as nice as on a regular paper.
