Does this paper work well with automatic feed printers?

It is too thin for automatic feed. Even when you feed the printer a single sheet at a time, it doesn't go straight. However, once you succeed feeding, laser print looks really very good on this. I am not sure about inkjet because it is really very thin. Other than printers, for using with pen, it is a great pleasure writing on.

Hi,Most printers can handle this paper. My printer is an HP 1020 and I always have used it with excellent results. If you check into the HP web site it may give you better information.John

The only printer I ever used with this paper was an HP ink jet all-in-one color printer. I had no problems with it.

No, at least not automatically (but you could do it manually). According to the printer's User Guide, "Only plain paper, special paper and thick stock, 60-210 g/m2 (16-55.9 lb bond) can be autoduplexed."

Yes, when it works. It is very temperamental about what weight paper you use in it. I have to use 24 weight in mine or I get constant misfeeds. Buy something better or it will eat you up in ink.

It is manual, there is a side panel that drops down to feed the sheets by hand (one at a time). Angel75c is correct, it does do Autoduplex - just turn on Duplex (Two Sided Printing)with the click box located in the "printer setup" within the application software. I stand corrected. (Thanks Angel)!

I print all my envelopes at work with this printer (probably 10-15 per week) and it works great for me. Just pull down the manual feed tray, insert the blank envelope (as shown in the drawing on the feed tray) and click "print." So far no jams. Have had this printer at work for about 6 months. I don't know why another reviewer said the printed envelopes come out the back of the printer. Mine don't. They come out printed side down at the same place a printed sheet of paper comes out. (To clarify, I am using #10 size business envelopes.)

I dont know for sure for that particular printer, what I did find when using my printer, which is a Canon Pixma, is that I had to "help" the paper through the initial feed by pushing gently. Once it was "grabbed" by the paper feeder, then everything worked fine. This media is quite a bit thicker than ordinary printer paper.

I would say yes if you use the multipurpose feeder on the top of the printer.

Howdy! 8) I can't find any info on this site or HP's site about manual feeds for this printer. I do some printing on fine art metals and need to hand feed the metal paper (usually through a slot in the back) so it doesn't bend. Usually when your printer feeds from a paper tray, it grabs the paper and bends it up, into and through the printer. But fine art metals don't bend so they can't feed through the auto/paper tray. Does anyone know if there's a manual feed option on the B8550 that would keep the paper flat?

I do not think so, the paper guides for the auto feeder, only adjust from 8.5 to about 8.0, but I am very please with this printer.

Yes it does have a manual feed tray. You would print envelopes by choosing non-duplex printing. I prefer to retrieve them from the back door rather than letting them go to the output tray. Mind you, both Brother laser printers that I have do not print envelopes cleanly or evenly - but that could also be because I use cheap envelopes - your "mileage" may vary.

Yes. Mine has worked great. Previously bought an off brand and had to toss it, I had a line through the paper, used it for about a year for unimportant jobs and then finally bought this one. Printer works like new.

Yes, it will handle a lot of different paper sizes. There is a rear feed and it works very well. The printer will usually tell you what to do.

This is a wide format printer and the paper input tray is adjustable. I only use single manual feed for 11x17 because I am doing t-shirt transfers but it has no problem feeding automatically on any other size I have tried and see no reason why 11x17 would behave any differently. So far I am very pleased with this printer.

I am sorry, but none of my clients have used that heavy paper in this printer. According to the online specs, the paper tray can only handle up to 28 lb stock.

Jalal, I have an old HP Photosmart All-In-One printer and the paper works just fine. It is not just for Laser printers. It's nice paper and I noticed today (after I posted review) that the price has dropped, so I think I will get some more myself.
