2 questions: 1.can printed inkjet stock run through without smearing ink? 2.Do 5mil pouches work well for 8.5x11 sheets?

I bought this for my daughter who's a teacher. She's not had a single complaint with the product that I'm aware of. She prints both inkjet printed items and laser printed items. I'm cheap and only bought her the thin 3 mil pouches and they were actually thicker and stiffer and than I expected, so much so I wondered what anyone would ever use a thicker one for.

1. Nothing I have laminated has smeared. I did allow some dry time for the ink though.2. I have had great success with 5 mil. Actually, it's my go to weight.

1. We have not had any problem with any printer type smearing. 2. We use 3 mil for a clean crisp look.

I use these to print large format budgets and cash schedules for investor meetings. Two sided has worked fine for spreadsheets with light color work. I wouldn't do anything heavy like graphics or photos as the stock would likely become over saturated and start to cringle

That's a bit difficult to answer without knowing exacting what kind of stock it is. If it is a cotton or linen stock, it really shouldn't, but if it is a heavier card like stock with a bit of a shine to it or a very smooth finish, that could be the problem. That said, I don't get the best results printing on good stock either. It doesn't smudge, but after about 30-40 envelopes, I end up with a vertical line on every envelope. My best guess is that it is the printer itself.

I'm not sure what the spec is but I can print on Business card stock but anything thicker than that will jam. Even business card stock does not separate well when feeding. That is on the MG 5520 model.

I print 110 card stock all the time on this printer. The settings have to be right. Never a paper jam but it does put a little crimp on the top of the paper. I do not get that crimp with a lighter weight card stock (80).

Yes I have been successfully using 110 lb 199 g/m^2 card stock without issues. With the straight through printing setting (open the back) it will only have a small curl at the end of the page. I don't think the printer can handle card much thicker though.

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.

The label on the xl200 box says that you can get 2.5 more prints from an XL than a standard cartridge. I can't find the ink liable on the ones that I have. There is not much ink in the standard cartridge that is why it seems cheaper than other cartridges. I have tried using the off brand ones, but have ruined two printers using them. The problem has been leakage. When I took the printer back, they checked to see if I was using the manufactures ink. They would not warrant the printer unless I had a full set of Epson ink cartridges in the printer. I did not so i just ate it. All the manufactures hook us on a cheap printer then make it up on ink sales. Hope this answers your question.

I haven't tried card stock yet, but I have printed photos on Epson photo paper in a variety of stock sizes without problems and good results. I loaded the cut sheets right into the tray and it fed in without a hitch.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe a standard ink is 7mil and XL is 11mil. Not a huge difference but XL is cheaper per mil. I tried to look it up to confirm this but couldn't find it quickly but hopefully I'm remembering correctly.

Some third-party label stocks that are "DK" compatible will likely work just fine and are worthwhile if you need very large quantities (even 75% off is not worthwhile if you only need a roll every year... but if you go through rolls and rolls and rolls...). I have only tried one third party roll so far for 1.1" continuous. No problems yet ... but have not printed many, nor tested for durability.

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, it works in ink jet printers. Its made for it. The thing to check is what the heaviest weight paper your printer can take. This is very heavy paper, 300 gsm (grams per sq meter). If your printer only can do 200-220 gsm, then use a paper that isn't this heavy, it won't go through. If yours says 280 gsm, you probably can get it through okay. (regular paper is about 70 gsm). Also, the paper is glossy on one side, so you need to make sure the printing occurs on the glossy side.

The ink is not of superior quality if you are looking to print photos or school projects. It is not pigment based. Also, the printer does not accept 110 pound stock. It jams. I have run photo paper though and it works fine. It won't work on card stock. Hope that helps. I did have a wonderful Canon Pixma printer years ago that was fabulous for photos, but don't keep up with the technology.

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 an ink jet printer and it was fine. No smudging at all. I was very please with the result.

Hi, thanks for your patience as we conducted tests on putting our paper through a printer. If cut into small pieces (6" x 4") like a photo size, the paper will feed through a printer, and the ink will apply with no issue. Of course it is dependent on the brand of printer, brand of ink used and the colors selected. We would always recommend using the paper with Chalk This Way markers for the brightest, boldest result and cutting with a pair of sharp scissors ideally to ensure a neat, clean edged cut. We trust this is of assistance. Regards, Paul Davidson Chalk This Way
