Will this work with banner changed frequently (every six weeks) and the banners would be printed on cardstock and not stiff or heavy?

I've never used cardstock as a banner on this, only material so I really don't know how that would work. Our problem here is just keeping little hands from touching it so if that's not a problem for you then it may work. All I can say is just try it. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. This is a great item for the price though.

Probably was designed for that... it was all new to me. Yes, 24" long 1/2" diameter rods, 4 per stand. Any banner wider than 24" will just flop over. We went to Lowe's and cut our own to 32".

That will work fine. They are easy to adjust. My only thought is how to fasten the card stock the the rods that slide into the stand. I suppose you could simply roll .the card stock around the rods and tape it. We use vinyl banners and had sleeves sown into them. Good product!

I agree with those that said it would work fine, if you solve the issue of how to suspend the banner from the bars. Besides folding the tops and bottoms over to form a tube for the bar to slide into, another option is to purchase tabs w/loops, attaching the tabs to the top and bottom of the banner, 2 or 3.

Maybe, if the banner isn't very heavy. This is a very cheap backdrop holder, and it bends in the middle. I am going to need to buy a more expensive, sturdy one. Waste of money for me.

Yes, if you set it up properly. It will take any size paper. I even print envelopes with mine... greeting cards too. For my sister's birthday I put one of her watercolors on the front of the card. It will let you know if it's not set up right too. HAVE FUN! It's a great printer! (deb)

I use the printer with 110 weight card stock and its o.k. as long as you feed it through one sheet at a time. Its slow and sometimes it takes a bit to get the printer to grab the sheet. Its the same for labels -very slow, one at a time. The printing itself is pretty good. We had a Brother printer before and it seemed more heavy duty. It printed envelopes, labels and card stock by the stack. This one has a lot less "oomph"

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.

I wouldn't advise putting cardstock in a printer because the sheets are very thick. Of course, depending on your printer that is.

can the printer handle cardstock?i need a printer that can print high quality images onto greeting cards...is this the right match for me?

Yes, any rollable banner material will work. As long tape will adhere to the banner as that's how the banner attaches to the retraction mechanism and the top bar can clamp to the material. 5 mil indoor will work fine

There does not seem to be a way to load paper into anything but the paper tray. This means the paper has to be pulled through the printer in a tight U paper path, so unless your card stock can bend like that, I don't think it would work well.

Yes, you have to turn your paper/cardstock around and hold in place, but it works nicely. This would be how you can make envelopes

I suggest using a decent quality card stock (available at walmart, kmart, craft stores in both stationery and craft sections) and laminating it - that would be a much better way to make stiff cards - this will disappoint you for that purpose.

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.

No! Do not buy this printer if you want to print with decent weight card stock. I don't know why people have answered yes, but I bought this printer and ended up returning because of how poorly it handled card stock.

Yes it will work. Just as long as they use not so many different types of paper. Make sure they set the default to blacke and white only when printing if they do not need color.

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.

I wouldn't recommend it. I used it on card stock and was very disappointed. You can it, but it isn't nearly as nice as on a regular paper.

I've used it to print on 110lb card stock, with varying results. A lot of it depends on the program you're printing from. I've had good success using photoshop managed color profiles and printing to the card stock.
