I print invitations and announcements on heavy card stock that contain text, graphics and photos . How is graphic & photo print quality?

Print quality is extremely good. We use this printer to print weekly color bulletins for my church and they look great.

Everything that I have printed with graphics has turned out excellent. I've only printed a few photos, they've turned out great as well.

Once or twice a month, I print on 100# or 67# heavy 8-1/2x11 paper. For this reply, I just printed a page containing color photos and an org chart using Word shapes. I printed it on both 100# and 20# paper and the quality is excellent and indistinguishable between the regular paper and the heavy paper. If you are printing heavy paper every day, I don't know if it would cause problems; I've never had a jam or the like. With 100#, the single-sheet manual feed may not pick up the page, so I simply place the 100# sheet in the paper tray.

I have Avery 8315. They are described as "Heavyweight cards with premium print quality on both sides" They are not as heavy as business cards, but much heavier than regular printer paper. I use them to make "greeting cards" and they are perfect for that. I cut them in two and can make two cards from one sheet.

I have NOT tried to print on card stock, the matte photo looks to be about the same thickness, so I cautiously believe card stock will work.

I believe it says it will print on photo paper. Have you tried setting it to photo paper before printing on coverstock? I worked at Staples CPC and the settings on our printers were the same from heavyweight to coverstock. I print wedding invitations and it seems the quality of the prints look great but if I can't print on heavyweight other than photo paper, the quality of the print isn't going to matter too much, is it!

The printer produces excellent color--it's at it's best on a coated stock but also does a nice job on heavy card stock. I calibrate my monitor and the images the printer produces are pretty much indistinguishable from the image on the screen. BTW, you can't use ink jet photo paper. It would run the printer. It would do an excellent job on a newsletter or short run brochure, however.

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.

Yes, it prints card stock quite well. You have to load it in the top tray and will have to flip it manually if you are printing on both sides.

I have one, too. It accepts card stock fine, but the print quality thereon is abysmal. What settings do you use?Thanks!

I printed on business cards and didn't have a problem with them. I'm not sure how other types of paper, like photo paper, would do in them.

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

I have printed out a few pictures and the results are good. I did however adjust the color etc with Photoshop before printing. I also used photo quality 4x6 paper.

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.

Like others said. not a photo printer. Fine for brochures. An inkjet will do a much better job for photos.One thing to keep in mind, printer settings default to 300dpi, this can be changed to a much higher resolutionwhen you print photos. (Still not as good as an inkjet)

I don't know of a maximum thickness, but I have printed on photo paper and business card sheets - both of which use heavier stock.

Hi Jill. I've used the printer to print thicker stock than regular paper and it struggled a little. Couple jams or incorrect feeds before I got what I wanted. It's a good printer. But I'm not sure how pictures would do. Hoped this helped.
