Has anyone used 80lb paper? If so, how well does it do using a single fold.

We use 70 lb paper and it works great. I usually do a sample paper first just to make sure all by guides are set right.

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!

Hi, Its for about 5 sheets of paper. Maybe one can stuff 8 or 10 sheets. I don't quite understand how other people put in about "80 pages or an inch". Unless we are speaking of another model.

Well, I just tried it with 65#, don't have any 100#, and it did fold it but it wasn't as crisp a fold as on lighter paper. I love this machine but if you use a lot of card stock I probably would not recommend it.

We follow the usual methods they recommend for special papers and haven't had any issues. We have not printed to a lot of 32 lb. paper but have not had problems so far and quality has been very well for our needs.

I have used this paper with both laser and inkjet printers. When using an inkjet, I allow the page a minute or two before folding and have never had an issue with bleeding. However, I have not tried to immediately fold a fresh print to test for bleeding. I don't expect it would, as the cotton content in the paper soaks up the ink and allows it to dry.

I have successfully laminated two sheets of 65lb card stock together in a pocket. One would think that if the paper were too thick the machine wouldn't accept it, but I have not experienced any problems.

Yes. All folds work great once it is set up. We had a lot of issues, and continue to have, with getting a new fold started. We save our scrap paper so that we can use that first. It has taken us quite awhile to get adapted to this machine and felt the instructions were not detailed enough. I did YouTube a lot to assist with issues. Once it starts working well, it is amazing but again, disappointed in the lack of information the company provides. Good luck!

There is a By-Pass Tray, when you fold the front flap down and it will hold up to 50- sheet of 20lb paper. I love the unit and am using it in an office environment with twelve people network to it.

I never tried that weight of paper, but this printer is back in the box. It is NOT one of the best printers I've had. I had it only a month before it started acting up. The power won't come on. I won't buy another one of these.

This is not as stiff as cardstock, and I.m not sure what you intend, but paper is stiff enough to fold nicely and retain its shape. Hope this helps!

No, this is not good for folding. I use it for making book covers and spines in mini albums. I would look for a heavier weight craft paper.

No... You can put a stack of paper in it and it will suck them in one at a time and fold them. The machine has been working great for us. We had to replace our old one as the feed rollers were just worn out and weren't feeding properly.

It is very, very thin and very good for certain types of origami. I primarily use it for tessellations. It is unforgiving to fold (creases and any wrinkles are always visible) but for tessellations you can back light them and the transparency produces a very nice effect. Happy Folding did a review of glassine for origami use that you should check out. Also, this is the type of paper shown on the cover of window star and sun catcher origami books available here on Amazon.

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 use the higher grade of printer paper due to the fact that it prints colors better. Many people also print bi-fold cards but I have found that quarter fold works very well and is cheaper to mail.

I've misplaced the instructions page, but I believe it says it can fold up to 2 sheets at a time. In our experience, it's pretty finicky and most of my team prefer to fold by hand over using the machine. It's better if it's a single fold.

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.
