Can you use Premium Cardstock with this printer???

I don't know what premium card stock is but it sounds like quality paper? This printer is excellent and has performed very well with new paper and used on one side (recycled) very well!

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.

That I don't know, but I will tell you this, I'm not especially happy with this printer, it's a perfect example of the cheap comes out expensive, I was really trying to stay with something the size of what I had, not realizing this was not as compatible as the one I lost, if given the chance again I'd have done a bit more research, they are misleading in what they tell you about this printer and I can't really recommend it, I'll stay with it while it lasts, but I've already had paper jams and have trouble using my photo paper when I make personalized cards, so keep that in mind too! And I've only had this for a few months!!!!! Good Luck, it also doesn't work with HP Solutions and it did not tell me this when I bought it and that is what led to some other problems I had. Lisa

Yes; the specification page on Dell's website [ http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?baynote_bnrank=0&baynote;_irrank=0&c;=us&cs;=19&l;=en&s;=dhs&sku;=225-4112&~ck=baynoteSearch ] indicates "thick" and "Cover" paper types. I've used the manual tray to print postcards, business cards, and envelopes without issue; I wasn't printing huge batches, so your mileage may vary. As long as you stick to card stock for laser printers, you should be good.

Textured card stock makes my cards look like I purchased them and not like I printed them from home. I can't tell you how many times people told me thanks for the lovely card. There have been absolutely no problems with the paper working in my printer and I don't think they cost any more than regular card stock. Go fancy and have fun!

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

Very good on both. I have use the Hallmark card program with several HP printers that make a card identical to obes you can buy. With this Samsung printer it makes them almost identical to the inkjet. I say "almost" because it is not, but it is very close, and I think a different cardstock, might do the trick. Labels on Avery stock come out perfect. You can change the type of paper on the display. When you open the drawer for the paper and putting something different you ask you if you want to change the type of paper. Hope this answered your question.

I have never tried that application. However, I am extremely satisfied with this printer and can't see why the heavier paper would pose a problem.

50 lb paper is not cardstock, but that opens up a huge can o worms about basis weights, US vs Euro measurements and so on. If you use 110 lb COVER stock it will work but of course you must feed it one sheet at a time. This is one of the few printers which (more or less) sets to print on heavier stock better: it simply slows the paper down so the heat can heat up the heavier paper a little more. So when you go to the print dialog and set the paper "type" I think you will notice there are really 7 levels -- there has to be an odd number so that "normal" is in the "middle" and when it says Card Glossy 176-220 gm that is the slowest print speed therefore it heats the paper the most. All I can say about this printer is it's simply LESS ANNOYING than most others.

You can print it on anything including plain paper. The cardstock from Walmart should be fine.

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.

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.....

Mine does NOT print Cardstock... Prints on Photo and regular paper just fine though.

Hi Lovelylady,Thank you for your inquiry!Manufacturer states that they can use card stock as long as the paper is no thicker than 11 mils. Some of the papers in our catalog will state the mil thickness.BisonOffice

I never printed on card stock but the printer only lasted for about 200 sheets and then broke down. I have over $400 invested with toner for nothing more than an over-sized electronic paperweight.

I just purchased this printer from Staples and am going to return it because I can not for the life of me get it to print on cardstock. I have been reading up on it and aparrently this is a known problem a lot of people have been complaining about since the printer came out. I have had no problems printing on various label paper, inkjet transparencies, resume paper, but it will not print on my 67# cardstock

I have not been able to get my Epson XP-400 to print on any medium-heavy weight card stock, even when I hand feed it single sheets. I have a friend who was able to ram a few sheets of 100# pages through, but then the printer wouldn't pull any type of paper through after that. I highly recommend you don't ram paper through - the person below who says "Its' not an HP" so you can rough the printer up does not appear to be trustworthy or logical.
