Can you print on Card Stock? Epson Artisan 835 Color Inkjet All-In-One (C11CA73201)

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

Tip on printing greeting cards. Use Matte finish presentation paper. Make them 1/4 fold design. You'll get awsome quality and they're easier to fold than card stock anyway. It's normally 32 to 35# HP brand seems to be the best value at this time.That said....I don't think I want this printer as I often need to print on heavy paper for other print jobs.

I've had one for about 3-4 years and just attempted to print business cards and have tried to print card stock in the past. Neither work. Putting in just one sheet at a time and using the premium matte paper setting didn't change anything. Any way I try the printer says out of paper / paper jam error and neither is true. Very disappointed on this part of the performance. Rest has been fine.

I lost my manual to the 835 and don't know how to set it up wireless. Please help me. Also where so i get the parer to fit this printer? The tray asks for 8 by 10 inch paper.

Although I have the Artisan 837, the 835 sounds like it has the same problems. I have had the 837 for about 6 months and have done nothing but sing its praises but I started doing Christmas cards late this year and was appalled to find that it was impossible to do card stock reliably unless I put in one sheet at a time - then I couldn't feed without opening the drawer each time due to the awkward feed mechanism. Support had only one answer. Use premium matte paper setting. That's ok for one at a time. Took two full days of priniting. Epson should update these printers keeping the high quality options (6 inks etc) but improving the paper feed. This is a major drawback not readily apparent on purchase.

this will help. When you load the paper tray first load regular printer paper then place your card stock on top of the your regular paper and now you should be able to print. Good luck hope this helps..

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. Yes.

I tried it just for you! I have 20 pound card stock. It printed just like it does on normal paper. This is a great printer for a small price. AND, the biggest bonus I think, the ink is relatively cheap and lasts! I can not say enough good things about this little printer.

The Pro205 and other "top-loading" Lexmark printers will print on heavy stock just fine. But duplexing card stock is not supported. (make sure the Eco-mode is not set to automatic duplex). The reason some products have trouble with heavy card stock is because it is trying to pull paper around a very tight curve in the paper path. (I work for Lexmark, but my comments are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of Lexmark International, Inc.)

I can't say I use a lot of card stock, but all the printing I have done with card stock has been flawless. I print a lot of labels, and have never had one jam. Very happy with this printer after 3 months of continuous use.

Yes, I use it to print on cardstock regularly and have never had a jam, but like the previous reviewer said you can't duplex print on cardstock. I've never tried duplex printing on paper, so I can't comment on if that function even works or not. But I do feel I should mention that after having had this printer for less than 7 months, mine stopped printing in color today. From reading these other reviews I'm guessing it's a printhead problem. So even with it's ability to print on card stock I can't claim to be totally happy with this printer. I plan to call Lexmark tomorrow about the printhead issue.

Yes - I think that you can. The printer has two trays in front: the one for letter-sized paper, and a second tray for photo paper (5"x8", 4"x6", etc.). If it can print photo paper from the front tray I imagine it can print card stock too.

I contacted Epson and they advise that it is impossible to print in black only when one of the colors is empty. For me, that is a major shortcoming and one that was not explained to me when I purchased the Artisan 810. In addition, the cost of replacement ink is very high...it may be more costly than any other brand. At office stores such as Office Max, you cannot recycle the used Epson cartridges as you can do with HP for a discount. Generally, a decent printer however, it has a few significant flaws

yes, it does print on card stock. i often print on 8.5" x 11" stardream metallic 105lb card stock. i always use the straight feed path. as a side note, i've even sent karen foster design, inc., adhesive cork sheets through the straight feed with satisfactory print results!

Yes it can, from the top cartridge. The bottom cannot feed card stock. I load the regular paper in the lower tray, card stock in the upper and set the defaults on our computers as the lower tray so I can print thick stock whenever I want.

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.

We have not used it for card stock yet so I can not tell you, sorry! So far we haven't had any issues, the scan function is a little slow and cumbersome but the printing is fine so far, colors are good.

Hello!I print my own cards and I have two printers that I have used to print cards using this card stock. I have a Hewelett Packard (HP) Officejet Pro 8500 (it's the older of my two printers) and a Canon MG 6220. actually, both printers do a fine job of printing using this card stock. (I make all of my cards for Birthday's, get well, etc.) I love doing it and this card stock works very nicely. Betsy

Make sure you have the paper type properly set. I accidently set mine to card stock, deactivating duplex printing for that tray.
