I make invitations &amp; am looking for a color laser that will work well on specialty card stock that won't work in my inkjet. Will this printer work?

Sandy, this is a good printer, but before investing, contact Brother and find out if the paper curl can be remedied. There is a setting to "reduce paper curl" in the options menu of the printer, but it does not seem to fix the problem for me. It appears as though the roller location causes the paper to make a tight turn and therefore causes any type of paper to curl.

you can use it in just about any inkjet printer, but the seller doesnt provide color profiles and couldnt tell me where to get them making my purchase nearly useless

I have used it only with an inkjet printer and I think it wouldn't work with a laser printer since laser printers get hot. I would look for a shrink paper specifically made to go through a laser printer.

These cards are specifically designed to work with Inkjet printers as they have a slight texture coating to absorb the ink making it permanent. My company made the mistake one time of not paying attention if the "For Inkjet Printers" message was on the order or not, and I ended up with 100 smooth surface cards designed for ribbon type printers such as the Fargo and others. Inkjet printers will make a mess on the smooth cards as the ink is not absorbed without the invisible special coating. Hope this helps.

No! Do not buy this printer if you want to print with decent weight card stock. I don't know why people have answered yes, but I bought this printer and ended up returning because of how poorly it handled card stock.

I have not tried card stock. It is a good printer and my only regret is that it requires Epson ink.

It didn't work for me in my laser printer. I think you'll need an injet printer

Yes! I've used multiple types of card stock and it prints great! The cardstock is a little curved after being printed on but otherwise it's perfect.

Yes, I use this paper in my inkjet & laser printer & works just fine.Just have the paper turned to the rite side to print on.you can do a simple test to see what side your printer prints on cause the 2 part paper must be printed on correct side.

The ink is not of superior quality if you are looking to print photos or school projects. It is not pigment based. Also, the printer does not accept 110 pound stock. It jams. I have run photo paper though and it works fine. It won't work on card stock. Hope that helps. I did have a wonderful Canon Pixma printer years ago that was fabulous for photos, but don't keep up with the technology.

Yes. We use a professional-quality Ricoh Aficio color laser printer, and run this paper through it daily with zero problems. It may not work on some lower-end laser printers, and you may have varying results depending on your toner levels (which is true with any paper and machine).

Note: please make sure it specifically says "for inkjet printer". Otherwise it will not work (the Shrinky Dink for Inkjet's surface is rougher than the regular type so the ink will actually grab onto the plastic). Also, never EVER use a laser printer!! This is directly from the Graphix' Shrink Film FAQs page:

I have not tried. But was told by several kinkos employees that it will not, as lasers get too hot. It says on the packaging, "for use with inkjet printers." Hope this helps.

Most ink-jet paper is compatible with laser printers. Normally, the paper is designed to allow some penetration of the ink. Since a laser printer puts toner onto the paper and then fuses it with heat, this can work.However, with glossy photo paper, the laser printer may get the paper much too hot (when fusing the toner), so I would be seriously concerned about using this Canon Photo Paper in any laser printer. It may damage the gloss of the paper, and also the paper may stick to the fuser when heated. You would be much better served by using the correct paper for the laser printer! In most cases, this will not be as glossy as an ink-jet photo paper, but for color business graphics, is quite workable. Most ink-jet paper is compatible with laser printers.

Yes, you can use an inkjet printer, however your final project will still look like a thick piece of card stock paper with an image instead of a nice thin transparent sticker. Hope this information helps with your purchasing decision. Sandra

Very poorly. Even with laser-specific (which is thinner) card stock such as Avery 5876. It refuses to feed from the manual tray about 80% of the time, reporting a 'jam" when there isn't one. When it does feed, more thn half of the time it doesn't feed it straight so you waste a lot of expensive card stock. Don't buy it if you need to print card stock often.
