Will it work with cardstock? What about Strathmore 100 lb (270 g/m2)? Will be using it for Calligraphy thus thick papers and envelopes. Thanks!

I believe so. The settings of light can be quite bright thus making it possible to see, even through card stock

I use all weights of photo paper- some heavier than cardstock and this printer does just fine from thin to heavy weighted paper, thick photo paper and cardstock. I'm not sure if it would handle actual cardboard, as I don't use anything that heavy. I set my printer on ALL TYPES of paper on the menu and it automatically adjusts for the thickness. My printer handles any paper or cardstock and it's great to have it adjust automatically. I hope this answers your question.

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

Actually, it is really too heavy for greeting cards. I use it for tent cards for the table for holidays, etc. I much prefer a lighter weight for greeting cards. I like 67lb. for greeting cards. The 110lb. is good for cover stock.

The manual says it can handle up to 68 lb. stock, using their printer properties menu setting for "thick paper." I have used 67 lb paper (sometimes called "cover stock") with no trouble. This can be used for business cards, but they are more commonly printed on 80 lb. stock.

Not sure -- by comparison, of course in my opinion, this paper is more like Stampin-Up whisper white. It isn't as heavy as PapertreyInk or Ginia K's 110 lb cardstock. This paper is about the same weight as a good index card :-(

The label on the package of this cardstock states "110/199 g/m2" (Basis) and "26.44 M" (M weight). I'm not sure what that means but this is not what you'd want if you were trying to make business cards. You'd want something stiffer or thicker. I use it as a cover for books and that application works well. In fact, it is about the same thickness as the cover of a paperback book. It's not shiny on one side. It's matte and smooth (but not slick) on both sides.

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 called Epson directly with this question, and the rep said "To be honest...." this printer isn't really designed to handle the "stiffer" paper, like cardstock for greeting cards or business cards. I appreciate their honesty! because I was all set to get this printer, but it turns out it isn't designed with one of the major functions I want. ((Weird -- it makes coloring book pages and prints on DVDs -- but won't print on cardstock?!)Back to the drawing board.....

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

I've used 110 lb cardstock without any problems by using the setting for the heaviest paper.

Its not as thick as a regular cardstock but, for my opinion, stiff enough to use as the base of a card. Its much stiffer than copy or drawing paper. Hope this will help.

well, yes... it's not quite as thick as you might like though. It's more like butcher paper or a very sturdy construction paper, but it will certainly bend/not stay flat with any kind of weight on it. might want heavier card stock for that.

We bought this heavier paper for our office printing. We only use it in our copiers/copy machine. I can say it works perfect for that.

Yes, this printer can handle envelopes. HP states that the tray capacity is 30 envelopes. Weight of media is recommended to handle 16 to 28 lb bond paper but is rated for 9 to 66 lb bond. Thickness is stated is 11.5 mil for card stock and 15.7 mil for envelopes. I don't normally use this printer for anything but 11x17 CAD drawings on 20 lb bond. In my home office I also have an HP 6700 OfficeJet (All-in-one) that I use for envelopes, cards, brochures, pictures, and the like. I chose the 6700 & 7110 printers because they both print exceptionally well, they both use the same high-capacity color cartridges (932xl & 933xl), and between the two they have served every document need of my home office.

I've had no problems with it feeding thick card stock paper. I've used French Paper #100 weight which is really dense and it feed & prints nicely. But I also recommend printing in small batches.
