is this unit usable with cardstock?

It should be ok for use with card stock, but as is the case with any thicker paper, it is just naturally more opaque.

I wouldn't. This unit is kind of flimsy. Without the back cover which is made of card board backing, you can distort the shape of the unit quite easily.

I have used card stock as pamphlet covers and this machine cleanly punches. Today, I tested four sheets of cardstock. The machine punched through all four sheets cleanly and smoothly, without any extra effort. I have never used cardstock heavier than the usual 65 paperweight. Hope this helps. Thanks.

It has several envelope sizes listed..I do not use this printer for that... The thing is-- it has only one tray. so, you can not stock envelopes in one tray and paper in another. As far as paper thickness.. it lists card stock as an option.. I have not tried that.. If you want me too, I can stop and do that.

Sorry, but I didn't try it with card stock. It fed regular paper just fine, but the tray required reconfiguring for anything not letter size, and, along with being big, complicated, and generally unhandy, it didn't fit in here and I sent it back.

Yes; the specification page on Dell's website [ http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?baynote_bnrank=0&baynote;_irrank=0&c;=us&cs;=19&l;=en&s;=dhs&sku;=225-4112&~ck=baynoteSearch ] indicates "thick" and "Cover" paper types. I've used the manual tray to print postcards, business cards, and envelopes without issue; I wasn't printing huge batches, so your mileage may vary. As long as you stick to card stock for laser printers, you should be good.

It could be used for greeting cards but I wouldn't use it. I would use a heavier paper.

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

Yes, the cardstock included are blank on both sides. So you can print whatever you want on the front. On the back, you can't have anything that would go under the metal clip because it will be covered.

I wouldn't advise putting cardstock in a printer because the sheets are very thick. Of course, depending on your printer that is.

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.

Never attempted a heavy card stock. We do use a heavy 32lb glossy paper, and adress labels and it worked fine. The machine has a side feeder to help pick up the heavier stock paper. Hope this help

No, I just cut a piece of cardboard 12 x 12 - it will not fit, unless there is shoving involved. That would defeat the whole purpose. Update: I just tried it lengthwise (or legal size way) and the Cardstock would fit fine in the tub but then you couldn't put the lid on it without doing damage to your Cardstock. So, this alternative would work, but only without the lid attached. Thanks.

This is hard to say, depends on how heavy your card stock is, some of the light one should be OK, since this model has the manual tray and the paper can straight in and out without any bending of the paper.

Mine does NOT print Cardstock... Prints on Photo and regular paper just fine though.

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

This printer does a great job with Cardstock, however you need to use the Multi-purpose tray for feeding, and open the rear access to make sure your cardstock won't curl.
