The printer is NOT capable of printing on card stock or even quality photo paper. It simply can not feed the heavier paper due to the sharp radius turns in the paper path. Other than that, I love the printer and have used it for 3 years with no problems.

Not sure exactly what you are asking. However I was able to print on heavy linen stock of non-standard size. This printer has very nice quality color prints but after one year of relatively light use I got a warning message that the printer needed service. I called Epson to schedule shipment but was told that the service fee was about as much as buying a new printer. Check out a few other reviews on other sites - you'll probably be reading similar stories. While it worked, it made some beautiful prints.

I never got that far, I bought it to print CD, with Mac Mountain Lion, it didn't work. All I used was plain paper and every one came out mangled on one side. So, not sure about card stock. Epson always been a good brand so maybe I just got a bad one.

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.

I don't know of a maximum thickness, but I have printed on photo paper and business card sheets - both of which use heavier stock.

I have NOT tried to print on card stock, the matte photo looks to be about the same thickness, so I cautiously believe card stock will work.

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

Hi Jill. I've used the printer to print thicker stock than regular paper and it struggled a little. Couple jams or incorrect feeds before I got what I wanted. It's a good printer. But I'm not sure how pictures would do. Hoped this helped.

I haven't tried card stock. But it does print beautifully on extra heavy weight glossy photo paper

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.

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.

I do fine art printing and I love using this as reference: http://www.paper-paper.com/weight.html The paper is noting 110 lb Index, which is about a 9 pt. thickness and matching the picture, 199 gsm. I wouldn't exactly recommend this for professional business card printing, but the extra weight is definitely pretty good to have. If you can get 12 pt. or higher (1pt. or 1 mil represents a thousandths (0.001") of an inch), it'll definitely do better for you.

If you are planning to print on card stock, I would strongly suggest you not buy this printer. Card stock, even the light cardstock such as business cards will not feed consistently...gets worse as the printer is used. Look for a printer that has a rear feed. I bought a Canon IP4920 for that purpose alone...it works great. The Epson 730 has a lot of nice features and works well as a network printer (but doesn't support Windows 8...yet) I love the little special drawer that prints on CD/DVDs....works great....software for that (and the scanner) is nice as well.

I'm not sure how thick of a card stock you are using but I use 100lb matte card stock paper all the time on this printer and it comes our flawlessly!

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
