does it do well printing on thicker cover weight paper?

There are settings on the printer that allow you to do this. There are two different settings for light cardstock and heavy cardstock. If light cardstock doesn't look good, use the heavy cardstock. I used to have two other printers and they did not do well, with laser powder flaking off. This one doesn't do that. However it has been my experience that if this happens you choose a heavier setting. All in all this printer is a keeper. I am a soapmaker who needs a lot of quality labels for soap and candles and use cardstock, labels and paper and this printer is the only one I will use. The laser print stays on the label as I lug things from show to show...it's a really good investment and the day it breaks down, I'm getting another xerox. xerox is the way to go!

The printer is not good for thicker cover weight paper. I tried 67# and it curled tighter than a tootsie roll, basically unusable. And the duplexer jammed every single time. The duplexer will not processes paper over standard weight. I'm disappointed. I'd appreciate recommendations of a printer that prints flat 2 sided on thicker paper.

I have printed on 100 lb cover stock with this printer, but you have to be careful because every once in a while the paper would get jammed. I use my Epson 1100 printer for heavy card stock because the paper don't have to bend to get though the printer. As far as the paper curling, no it didn't curl.

I love mine. It works beautifully on white paper. Thick paper works, but it takes some muscle.

The manual says it can handle up to 68 lb. stock, using their printer properties menu setting for "thick paper." I have used 67 lb paper (sometimes called "cover stock") with no trouble. This can be used for business cards, but they are more commonly printed on 80 lb. stock.

Yes I have been successfully using 110 lb 199 g/m^2 card stock without issues. With the straight through printing setting (open the back) it will only have a small curl at the end of the page. I don't think the printer can handle card much thicker though.

My experience is that it does print beautifully on 100 lb - only the feed isn't exactly great, so I had a number of paper jams - exasperating, but still doable.

I'm not sure how thick you want, but this is definitely thicker than a regular sheet of paper. I haven't used mine yet, but it seems like foil coated paper or plastic. Its pretty rigid but bendable/foldable. It's definitely thicker than gold leaf, and is a bit thicker than regular printer paper.

I have used this printer in a couple of different jobs and never tried regular paper. We always used the kit with the ink and paper combination. I guess someone could try it and see. If you used regular paper, I would think a heavier bond would be better since it does pull the picture back through the printer several times.

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I tried to remove it and was unsuccessful. However, the cover did move up so that when you close it you can put a thicker document in it. I don't recommend this printer because it does not handle paper very well. It frequently fails to feed the paper so that it can print.

Yes, especially if you use a higher quality more finished paper. Good on regular paper for a laser printer but very good with a little better paper.

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"

Yes. I print double sided on this paper quite often using a sharp laser printer. It prints beautifully.

I have used card stock as pamphlet covers and this machine cleanly punches. Today, I tested four sheets of cardstock. The machine punched through all four sheets cleanly and smoothly, without any extra effort. I have never used cardstock heavier than the usual 65 paperweight. Hope this helps. Thanks.

I have a print shop and have used just about every weight of this paper! The text weight isn't great, it is only a bit thicker than copy paper and dents really bad and easily! With the cardstock, try to stay around 88lb or 92lb because some of their shimmer papers over 100lb won't run through even my best printers.

I've had no problems with it, the paper is thick and the ink doesn't bleed through.
