Does this printer work with card stock?

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.

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.

It works ok with 110 card stock. The printer is a bit loud as the paper travels over the rollers. Ive printed about 20 pages with success. No jams or errors.

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.

My husband and I recently purchased this printer. I used a very heavy bond card stock. At first I tried running it through the manual feed and it worked but not great since it is a 1 page manual feed. My husband suggested I try it in the regular paper tray and it worked great.

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.

It will, but use the lightest card stock you can find. Most colors come in several weights, use the lightest and you'll be fine. This printer likes lightweight stock and handles it with fewer problems.

Huh? Another answer says there's an extra tray in the rear of the printer for card stock. Not on my MX472. And no mention of it in the on-line tutorial. The only way mine prints is to feed them through like paper. Am I missing something?

It has several envelope sizes listed..I do not use this printer for that... The thing is-- it has only one tray. so, you can not stock envelopes in one tray and paper in another. As far as paper thickness.. it lists card stock as an option.. I have not tried that.. If you want me too, I can stop and do that.

I haven't tried it, but card stock isn't too much thicker than photo paper stock so you should be able to

Yes it prints greeting card stock beautifully. I use hallmark software and set the printer up according to the softwares instructions. Once you do this the software remembers and instructs you each time how to insert the card stock.

I have not tried card stock, other than Avery 3297 half fold greeting cards and it works fine with them. I have never had a paper jam. I use this printer for my professional digital photo prints.

I don't know. I have used card stock from staples in the printer and it did great!

Mine does NOT print Cardstock... Prints on Photo and regular paper just fine though.

I never got that far, I bought it to print CD, with Mac Mountain Lion, it didn't work. All I used was plain paper and every one came out mangled on one side. So, not sure about card stock. Epson always been a good brand so maybe I just got a bad one.

I tried it just for you! I have 20 pound card stock. It printed just like it does on normal paper. This is a great printer for a small price. AND, the biggest bonus I think, the ink is relatively cheap and lasts! I can not say enough good things about this little printer.

I use it regularly with 110# card stock and it will print on it. You might need to watch the feed. I've not had a jam but I have had more than one piece of paper try to run through at the same time. Overall, I'd say this is a very dependable and versatile printer.

Yes it will. I use 60# card stock on a regular basis. There is a straight pass through by opening two doors in the printer, one in front for infeed and one in back for outfeed.

Mine works perfectly. I cut through 2" of card stock yesterday, so very likely yes.

Great printer EXCEPT for the issue with card stock. I've tried 32lb stock and still no luck

That's a bit difficult to answer without knowing exacting what kind of stock it is. If it is a cotton or linen stock, it really shouldn't, but if it is a heavier card like stock with a bit of a shine to it or a very smooth finish, that could be the problem. That said, I don't get the best results printing on good stock either. It doesn't smudge, but after about 30-40 envelopes, I end up with a vertical line on every envelope. My best guess is that it is the printer itself.
