Full size card stock works well From the regular tray, and can be printed on both sides. Smaller card stock is handled in a second tray, which I have not used, but assume works equally as well.

The Pro205 and other "top-loading" Lexmark printers will print on heavy stock just fine. But duplexing card stock is not supported. (make sure the Eco-mode is not set to automatic duplex). The reason some products have trouble with heavy card stock is because it is trying to pull paper around a very tight curve in the paper path.(I work for Lexmark, but my comments are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of Lexmark International, Inc.)

Yes - I think that you can. The printer has two trays in front: the one for letter-sized paper, and a second tray for photo paper (5"x8", 4"x6", etc.). If it can print photo paper from the front tray I imagine it can print card stock too.

It feels heavier than regular paper, but not as heavy as a birthday card I have on hand (if that is what you mean by cardstock). I use it to print photos all the time in my printer and have no problem with it.

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 like Avery card stock. I have compared it to Hallmark and this is heavier paper but still not as heavy as it used to be but I'm happy with it. It is easy to fold because of it is prescored. It works for me and I print a lot of cards.

I've used card stock with no problem; although, I don't have the package so I'm not sure of the exact weight. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Overall, this has been a great printer.

A standard business envelope will work. There is no information in the owners manual or setup manual regarding thicker paper stock. Brother does have some helpful information on their web site where they suggest projects to do, some of which APPEAR to use heavier paper. I would suggest you research the paper issue directly with Brother

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.

Hey there. I haven't done cardstock but I do frequently print on heavy watercolor paper without any issues. I also know that the printer allows you to select cardstock as the paper type.

I have printed pictures and found that I need to remove the regular paper before loading the photo paper. I haven't tried cardstock yet. I do like being able to use third party ink. I do a lot of printing and my HP printer would not allow this or refills and I couldn't afford the ink for it.

No it cannot. Envelopes must be printed in the tray that came with the 8600. So what I do is put regular paper in the 2nd (bottom) tray and reserve the original (top) tray for envelopes and special paper, such as photo, high quality printer and card stock.

Basically.. NO. There is no rear paper feed therefore the paper has to make a very sharp 180 within the printer. Card stock is too stiff.

I'm sorry, I don't have any experience with card stock in this printer....I know you can find the manual online at the Brother USA website, it may have the answer you want.

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.

This is hard to say, depends on how heavy your card stock is, some of the light one should be OK, since this model has the manual tray and the paper can straight in and out without any bending of the paper.
