I frequently use HP Glossy Presentation Paper. It is 48 lb. Any ideas as to whether this machine would handle this well & without a lot of jamming?

It will likely jam. I purchased the machine to fold 40lb. brochure paper and it jams after the first page. I spoke with the company that the machine came from and the manufacturer and was told by both that it is really only meant to fold normal copy paper. The description would lead you to believe otherwise. This is only a good purchase if you are intending on only folding one page letters for which it works great.

Works great. the key is try your precision with 80lb paper. don't try with less lbs and adjust the precision. Keep the 80lb waste (if you have) and then adjust. It works great!

Yes I have. Neenah purchase certain items from Wausau and this works very very as it is 65 pound and very white and makes lovely greeting cards. I ghighly recommend it. It may be important that you verify with your printer manufacturer that your printer can accommodate this paper weight. Most HP can; notwithstanding you may have an issue were you using CANON for example-because not all of their models will

Yes I have been successfully using 110 lb 199 g/m^2 card stock without issues. With the straight through printing setting (open the back) it will only have a small curl at the end of the page. I don't think the printer can handle card much thicker though.

We regularly use ours to print on 130# cover without problems as long as it's fed through the rear slot one by one. This is one of two printers we've found that can handle the very heavy weight of our paper!

I run 80 lb cardstock through it all the time with no issues. Go for it. Works great!

I notice the Epson offers few large format papers. I want to create prints of my work in the 12 X36 range. Has anyone experimented using print making or heavy water color paper with this machine?

Unfortunately I haven't printed anything but standard letter size paper on this machine. I worked in Graphics Design for over 40 years. My best advice is not to use cheap paper. For all sheet printing I will only use Hammermill paper. I hope someone with envelope printing experience answers. I'd like to know myself. Good Luck.

I fail to see a question, but I have never had a paper jam. I have always used 28lb paper for the double sided printing.

I have printed on 80lb and it works perfectly and I just recently got 120 lb but haven't been able to try it. I will try it and let you know.

Expect jamming problems with 110 lb index and 80 lb card stock (they are about the same weight and thickness). I wouldn't use this unit for anything greater than 60 lb card stock. But check the operating manual or go on the KM website to confirm the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the printer's official limitations. Be aware that very heavy stock cannot be flipped over without jamming except in those units that are specifically made to handle heavy stock, like the Xante Ilumina.

Absolutely! We did over 500 35 page books on 20lb copy paper on one of our machines this may and it keeps coming back for more. It works the fastest to punch about 15 pages a time. High Qaulity machine that produced a great product.

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 have to agree with A. Geib I bumped up the phyical memory, used quality paper printed at the highest resolution and got very good resultsIt is abit slow on the first thing printing and sounds like a jet when I turn it on, but it was worth the money so far, I also have a Brotherat work and its a workhorse.I've used HP's Lexmark, Cannon, Epson it compares to them all, the interesting thing for me is watching the sell price move up and downI may start tracking it for fun.

I have no trouble with paper jamming on my unit, but I can recommend that you should fill the printer tray up and not only put a few sheets in it at a time.

Not if I am careful to use good (I use hp paper) paper. This great printer will feed envelopes very well. I use that feature to play around with fonts for Christmas cards and gifts. While looking for a good printer for another location I I had bad results with several of the highest rated (by consumer's union) hp printers. This happened in a very dry climate using old paper. I bought new paper and still had feed problems with other hp models. When trying this (8600) - the feed problems just went away. I believe the dry climate drys and stiffens the paper, taxing any printer's feed system. If you are in a dry (or very humid) climate, read all hp instructions about paper storage, loading and feeding. One other problem I brought on myself at the dry climate location - I bought the 8600 at a retailer (big box store). Never again. I bought my latest 8600 directly from hp to get hp support. Best printer decision I ever made. HP warranty and support is world class or better and the first year support is free. I've extended my hardware and hp system support. Next best money I ever spent. Hope this helps you.

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.
