will this handle card stock?

Yes. I have been laminating covers for a spiral-bound book, and putting a regular sheet of paper as the cover paired with a sheet of card stock behind it to stiffen it. I do this with 5-mil sheets and it turns out fine.

Card stock comes in different mil. I use card stock that is 3 or 4 and it works fine.

No, this printer cannot handle thick card stock. It takes paper from a bottom tray and then bends the paper in a 'U' shape internally to print and exit to you. As such, any stock that cannot bend easily may either not be taken in or may jam during printing. I've tried with thick watercolor paper for example, and the printer was unable to grab the paper. I suggest you look for a gravity feed printer for printing on thick stock.

Sorry, but I didn't try it with card stock. It fed regular paper just fine, but the tray required reconfiguring for anything not letter size, and, along with being big, complicated, and generally unhandy, it didn't fit in here and I sent it back.

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.

Card stock is listed as a paper type on the printer menu, but I have not personally tried it.

It should be ok for use with card stock, but as is the case with any thicker paper, it is just naturally more opaque.

I used it on envelopes that were medium card stock and it worked great. Didn't try on thick card stock, but I think it works work fine. I have used mine for over 5 years and it had been perfect.

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

Don't know...haven't done it. I have laminated a printed card made out of folder stock. I would think it would handle a DL card.

You're the second person I've tried to help with this issue. According to Brother it will not handle card stock. 30 lb paper is probably its limit. Other than that, this is an excellent, reliable, fast, easy to maintain, with lower cartridge costs than its competitors.

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.

There have been a couple of times I needed a little something more. I find 1 - 2 pieces of card stock is all that is ever needed. I keep them, they last for months of use. There is a shim on this platform. I hope this helps.

Yes it can, from the top cartridge. The bottom cannot feed card stock. I load the regular paper in the lower tray, card stock in the upper and set the defaults on our computers as the lower tray so I can print thick stock whenever I want.

yes. we used it for our wedding programs and it punched together 4 pieces of 100 lb card stock.

Probably. Getting the stock for it is the hard part. Credit cards are around 1 to 1.5 ..I've used it. The edges have to be filed with a fine file or sand paper. A sharp knife edge will work.

Yes, it prints card stock quite well. You have to load it in the top tray and will have to flip it manually if you are printing on both sides.

Yes it will provided you use a normal card stock (i.e. business card stock or greeting card stock). Thicker stocks tend to slip or jam. One other caveat - the stock will come out with a slight curve or bend to it, so you have to bend it back into a flat piece of paper. No big deal, just want you to be aware. The machine is rock solid and produces very nice images. (Oh, and don't use glossy stock unless it is specifically formulated for laser printers instead of inkjet printers. The ink won't fuse to glossy stock and will smear right off the paper.) Hope that helps.
