can this printer handle 110lb. cardstock for greeting cards?

Other people said yes so I tested it. I don't have card stock per se but it worked on the cardboard from the back of a yellow pad.

Yes. You put the cardstock into the back tray, and then tell the print program the type of paper is cardstock.

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.

Hi Pastor Mark. It would depend on the weight of the cardstock. The imageCLASS MF8580Cdw holds paper up to 58 lbs.

No answer, just want to concur. The printer claims it can handle cardstock by offering a paper setting in its printer manager software for cardstock but it always jams when trying to feed it from the tray.

Joan, I bought the HP e8100 printer and it will not take the 110 lb card stock either, eventhough it says it takes card stock and has no weight limit listed. The HP tech support in India told me that the printer was working just fine because it printed on regular paper without a problem. He said that I needed to contact Adobe because it was a problem with the Adobe file that I was trying to print. (The printer would not grab the paper and feed it thru the machine) Calling tech support was a waste of time. I am returning the machine.

Hey there. I haven't done cardstock but I do frequently print on heavy watercolor paper without any issues. I also know that the printer allows you to select cardstock as the paper type.

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.

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 printer manual says 176-220g card stock. I have printed on 67# cardstock on one side without any problem using the optional real output tray. I would only use the optional rear output option.

It will, but use the lightest card stock you can find. Most colors come in several weights, use the lightest and you'll be fine. This printer likes lightweight stock and handles it with fewer problems.

It can fit/ print pretty good on 100lb card stock just when you print under printer controls make sure you select first Print Settings>MEdia Type> Premium Presentation Paper Matte. This makes the printer know your printing on card stock. In the printers instructions it will say what each media types settings can be used for various Lb thickness. So the printer knows what speed and quality to print on to avoid jams. If you can clarify the paper it is (company and type/ color) I can give a more clear review since I print on most specialty heavy weight papers papers.

Yes, use the upper tray and change the paper size setting to legal. You can also print on heavy paper by using the paper loader in the back and changing the paper type to heavy (like card stock).

I use this printer for card stock (24pt blister cards which is heavier than 100lb stock), using the rear sheet feeder. (The stock I use is 4" x 5", so I can't try it in the paper tray.) 100lb card stock will work fine through the rear feeder - I'm not sure how it will work through the paper tray.

Most printers can't handle anything above 80lb card stock. This one handles heavier, but I'm not positive that it is 120, it may only be 100lb that I currently have in stock. I was pleasantly surprised that it did handle it. I use cardstock a little thicker than your average index card. Again, it may be 100 lb but I'm not sure if it is 120lb. I called my paper supplier, but it's been so long since I've ordered from them, they can't be sure of the weight without seeing it either. Sorry I can't be more definitive for you.

I also haven't used card stock paper in the printer. I use mine mostly for work related printing and the thickest paper I have used was 24 lb. bonded paper that worked fine.

Yes it will print on cardstock. I've done it before. Use the multi-purpose paper tray. Don't use the standard paper trays, they're not made for that.

Rolf, I use it to print greeting cards on my Lexmark printer - so I would say yes.
