Can I use it to design Business Cards, and are there lots of Avery Business Card Options? Thanks!

Yes, you can design all sorts and sizes of business cards. You can buy the matching sheets of business card paper. Coordinate all of this with the printer and you should have good results.

Hi, Doris. I used this for business cards and it worked great. If you're careful you can actually run about three through at the same time spacing them out on the machine.

I have not tried it for that. Honestly, I was very disappointed with the poor resolution when I printed a folded full card that I have not used it since. My intent was to create the cards and then send to UPS for professional color printing on card stock. The cards printed that way are only about $1.50 each so I thought it was a great alternative... but the quality just was not there... the wording was not crisp but rather blurred.

The only thing I use the Avery Half-fold cards for is to make greeting cards for birthdays, holidays, etc. I do have to change my printed setting as the paper is a little thicker than regular paper. Hope this helps in some way.

Any software you have should have business card template. Make sure it's 10 on a page and not 8. And stay inside the margins it will cut just fine.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! Sounds like some people got lucky but that in general this printer is not the one to get if you want to print greeting cards or business cards....the search goes on! :-D

It does much more than basic things. It comes with clipart and templates, yes for business cards, no for labels. Unless you are doing professional greeting cards (there are no templates with this particular version), you could look to Print Shop which is designed to all all the things you asked about although it is not nearly as powerful as CD. Hope this helps. God bless and Merry Christmas.

These are beautiful cards, just the right stiffness, and matte finish so they take printer ink very well. Also good price - I compared office supply stores, craft stores, etc. I made up sets with different photos (my own) on each and even put the titles and my contact info on the back. Made great gifts! Avery.com has lots of templates that you can customize, and they'll store the template and finished artwork or let you keep it all on your computer for easy reprinting. Very easy to use. Good luck and have fun!

I think the flash card is for saving and loading designs into the machine.. so yes you can also just use your pc for general designs as well without having to use the flash card.. and it does applique but I haven't done that style..

I don't know how you would get your PDF design to the card without the software. You can create a custom card within the software, but the software came with the printer so I don't know why you wouldn't want to use it. I think it would make the process easier.

I can print on Avery Business Cards by filling the tray with paper and then feeding one sheet at a time on top. Will not print from bottom of tray or part full. Hope this helps.

When I bought mine, i had to search and find a company that sold them. If you are kinda crafty they make a 6 hole punch and you can make your own out of card stock.

I have never used any of the Avery software to make badges. I have them professionally printed on card stock, cut to size, and only use the vinyl jacket.

unfortunately I haven't tried to do so. The business card slot its nice and works fairly well, though since I don't use outlook at home I never looked into the software too much. Good luck.

If it's in your computer you can print whatever you need to on it. I been doing greeting cards for the family on them for years and mine are always looked forward too because there not store bought. A lot of add on material is can be found under google images to enhance projects.

I use card stock in the MPF and had a few quirks with it wanting to grab 2 or 3 sheets at a time. Never used card stock or business cards in Tray. What I failed to realize is that I was suppose to fan the card stock to keep the pages from sticking together. That fixed the problem. If appointment cards are the same as business cards then it will work great. If not, I can't tell you anything about that.

Yes. I use card stock to create greeting cards and business cards all of the time with no problems. The colors are crisp and the feed is pretty fast considering it's an ink jet printer. IO do find that the machine is sensative when it gets down to the last 2 or three pages. Sometimes it reacts as if the paper ran out. so, just make sure you have a nice fill of paper in the feed tray. I also have a Pixma MP560. The 560 has two feeds and both work perfectly. I bought the MG5420 because it works with wirelessly my Ipad and iphone and, a rare feature; it prints on CD's and DVD's.
