Can this printer use heavier media like card stock

Yep...works just fine. You can load it in the bottom tray or 1 sheet at a time through the front. We use it for cardstock, label sheets, envelopes, etc. As noted in other answers, it does curl the card stock when it prints, but nothing that can't be flattened out if put in a binder.

Yes, but it will wear out the printer faster. I put the heavier paper through the single sheet feed.

I don't know. I have used card stock from staples in the printer and it did great!

Yes it will. However you will have to remove all of your normal stock paper first. So if you want to just print a quick sheet of card stock, you will not be able to just set it on top of your standard paper.

I'm not sure how thick card stock is but I've used 110 lb paper but you have to use the rear feed, NOT the paper tray.Hope this helps,Jeffery

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 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.

It does, but it sometimes it causes paper jams. For me, the 110# stock seems to work better from Tray 1 than the multi-purpose tray. From the printer menu, under tray configuration you can specify 3 card stock types. I have yet to figure out what the 3 different options mean. I've guessed that card stock number 3 is the heaviest weight stock, so I usually use this setting. I have the best luck using the MP tray with 80# cover and feeding each sheet one at a time. Works perfectly every time this way.

Yes. It will print on card stock. I just tried it a couple of days ago and it worked fine.

Yes, but I wouldn't use layers of it. One layer works fine. I generally use specialty papers that are heavier than printer paper but lighter than card stock. The laminating pouch makes it feel like card stock

I'm not sure what the spec is but I can print on Business card stock but anything thicker than that will jam. Even business card stock does not separate well when feeding. That is on the MG 5520 model.

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.

The HP D7360 will print photos that are of very high quality if you use the HP paper. This printer will also print high quality photos on other photo paper. I have not tried printing on card stock with this printer but it would probably work fine for this.

No. This was one of the disappointments as it makes printing to card stock impractical.

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

I have printed lighter card-stock on mine before. It would still need to wrap around the roller, so the super heavy stuff might be a problem.

Sure you can. There is a 'straight path' tray you load, as opposed to the 'curved path' feeder on top. You can get the card stock from Epson too if you have problems finding quality stock in your area. Prior answer is correct about single sheet feeding as I dimly recall, having used the heavy card stock printing feature only once when I originally got mine. It'll also print CD disks as well.
