Does this machine fold 80# glossy paper well, I read a review and said it would not pick up 28# paper so I was hesitant to purchase?

Not sure. We've used it only for standard paper. It works great for us, but we haven't tried any other weights or finishes.

It doesn't claim to fold glossy paper. I've gotten it to work if I tap on the paper to get it to pick it up.

We only use the folder for standard paper, but it doesn't always grab regular paper correctly. I can imagine that glossy paper wouldn't fold very well. You probably need a higher grade folder that specifically says it folds higher weight/finish paper.

It is a great little machine. I prepare opwrating manuals with it. it take standard 8 by 11 1/2 paper of any weight. Next you must purchase the width. The width you select will be dependent upon he thickness of the document you prepare. Mine are in teh 1/4 inche range which will handle about 30 to 40 pages of 32 lb paper. Verry professional look.

yes, this shredder accepts letter sized sheets. I shred all kinds of sizes in it. Says it will accept up to 4 sheets (I usually do 2 or 3 at a time) so if you have something larger than it will accept, I would guess you could just fold it to fit.

OK, I have read the manual and read LOTS of online reviews and my answer would be it is NOT recommended for cardstock. People who HAVE run cardstock through it have eventually had trouble with the rollers not grabbing. There is a 'mode' for "Epson Presentation Paper - Heavyweight Matte" which is #44. The cardstock I have is #65. IF you need to run primarily cardstock, I would advise against it. OR be sure to change the setting to the Presentation Paper mode. If you can get by with a 44 pound weight paper, then it seems that this printer can handle it. I would guess an occasional piece of cardstock won't kill it but if you primarily print cardstock you might want a more robust printer. Hope this helps! PS. I usually use a high quality paper to print normal copies and it's #22 - just for comparison.

I just ran eight card stock weight sheets through at once. It chewed them up slowly but without stopping. I would say if you are going to run the fat junk mail envelopes through occasionally it wouldn't be a problem; too many at once will probably heat up the machine and force you to wait while it cools down.* Just an FYI on this machine: I have tried many and this has been the most reliable shredder yet. In fact another office often liked to borrow it, until they accidentally left it out near the trash. Their "replacement" was a piece of junk that became unrepairable within three months. I have since purchased another DS-3 and am once again shredding jam/issue free. I just ran eight card stock weight sheets through at once. It chewed them up slowly but without stopping.

To Recar: You're welcome. I did purchase the Envy printer in the brown color. Model #110. What a welcome change from black or silver. It truly would fit on a bookcase and not draw too much attention to itself. Very sleek looking. We didn't have any problems with set up and the 2 sided copying is very nice. As far as not holding too much paper, I don't find that to be a problem. It is for home use and will hold about 1/2" stack of paper. More than enough for my needs. I actually have this in my sewing room, but justify that everyone in the house can use it too. Hope it holds up.

Once you get the hang of feeding the paper through, it works great. Works a little slower than the big machines. I am really happy with the machine. For the price you can not beat it.

I am having this same problem and wasting a lot of sheets. I did about 20 sheets no problem and then once the corner folding started I can't get it to stop. I'm considering sending the machine back for another brand.

It doesn't do well with glossy paper/photos. I tried to scan about 50 photos and it would start to skip and make some interesting images. IMHO, you'd want a flatbed scanner for best results.

I have successfully laminated two sheets of 65lb card stock together in a pocket. One would think that if the paper were too thick the machine wouldn't accept it, but I have not experienced any problems.

It hasn't caused me any problems with card stock. I've done four or five greeting cards, running the stock through twice to print both sides and haven't had a failure yet. I can see where it might since it goes through a pretty tight turn inside the machine. I haven't tried anything glossy or otherwise slippery.

Not if I am careful to use good (I use hp paper) paper. This great printer will feed envelopes very well. I use that feature to play around with fonts for Christmas cards and gifts. While looking for a good printer for another location I I had bad results with several of the highest rated (by consumer's union) hp printers. This happened in a very dry climate using old paper. I bought new paper and still had feed problems with other hp models. When trying this (8600) - the feed problems just went away. I believe the dry climate drys and stiffens the paper, taxing any printer's feed system. If you are in a dry (or very humid) climate, read all hp instructions about paper storage, loading and feeding. One other problem I brought on myself at the dry climate location - I bought the 8600 at a retailer (big box store). Never again. I bought my latest 8600 directly from hp to get hp support. Best printer decision I ever made. HP warranty and support is world class or better and the first year support is free. I've extended my hardware and hp system support. Next best money I ever spent. Hope this helps you.

Joan, so I got this email from Amazon asking if I could answer your question. I'm just another user like you and all I can say is that I'm using it with 65 lb paper and it works fine. I didn't know that they set a 110 lb limit on it and I'll probably not have occasion to use that heavy of card stock. Are you trying to print 2 sided printing? If so, you may try just printing single side, then refeeding. That's pretty heavy stock. Good luck.

I love mine. It works beautifully on white paper. Thick paper works, but it takes some muscle.

This machine works well for 20# but needs adjustments fairly frequently. I suggest a more durable machine. We use it for worship bulletins & our monthly newsletter (~ 450 sheets of legal size)

It's not the best made machine, but for the price, it works okay. It's mainly for 12" wide paper which doesn't need a carrier, just the plastic for laminating. If you use smaller paper, you must use a carrier as with any laminator.

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