Can this print on thick cardstock? Does it have an opening in the back so paper wouldn't roll into the printer?

I have not tried this but I believe previous reviewers indicated yes. One of the reasons I purchased this model.

Yes to both questions. Replacement cartridge cost will easily exceed the purchase price of the printer over time but that's typical for most printers. Also dealers for replacement cartridges are limited but I currently use suppliesguys.com Hope that helps.

This printer does a great job with Cardstock, however you need to use the Multi-purpose tray for feeding, and open the rear access to make sure your cardstock won't curl.

It hasn't caused me any problems with card stock. I've done four or five greeting cards, running the stock through twice to print both sides and haven't had a failure yet. I can see where it might since it goes through a pretty tight turn inside the machine. I haven't tried anything glossy or otherwise slippery.

The printer is NOT capable of printing on card stock or even quality photo paper. It simply can not feed the heavier paper due to the sharp radius turns in the paper path. Other than that, I love the printer and have used it for 3 years with no problems.

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.

50 lb paper is not cardstock, but that opens up a huge can o worms about basis weights, US vs Euro measurements and so on. If you use 110 lb COVER stock it will work but of course you must feed it one sheet at a time. This is one of the few printers which (more or less) sets to print on heavier stock better: it simply slows the paper down so the heat can heat up the heavier paper a little more. So when you go to the print dialog and set the paper "type" I think you will notice there are really 7 levels -- there has to be an odd number so that "normal" is in the "middle" and when it says Card Glossy 176-220 gm that is the slowest print speed therefore it heats the paper the most. All I can say about this printer is it's simply LESS ANNOYING than most others.

The documentation indicates that the printer can print on card stock paper but I have not tried that yet.

Yes, it prints card stock quite well. You have to load it in the top tray and will have to flip it manually if you are printing on both sides.

There is a "Thick Paper" option on the control panel of the printer; select that.

Plain paper printers are not capable of printing on fabric, the mechanisms that move the paper will not be compatible with anything other than paper that the printer manufacturer has specified. There is however craft paper available that looks and has a texture that mimics burlap, you can find it in craft stores in the scrapbooking section, you would set your printer for the thickest possible paper, and alter your print preferences for thick paper before attempting to use this type of paper. this type of paper often is only available in 12"x12" sheets, you may have to have them cut down to 8.5x11 to fit the printer.Cheers and good luck.

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.

I feed card stock and other special items such as fabric (yes it will print on fabric, that is backed with freezer paper) one at a time, and I have had no problem. I really like this printer alot.

I haven't tried card stock. But it does print beautifully on extra heavy weight glossy photo paper

OK, I have read the manual and read LOTS of online reviews and my answer would be it is NOT recommended for cardstock. People who HAVE run cardstock through it have eventually had trouble with the rollers not grabbing. There is a 'mode' for "Epson Presentation Paper - Heavyweight Matte" which is #44. The cardstock I have is #65. IF you need to run primarily cardstock, I would advise against it. OR be sure to change the setting to the Presentation Paper mode. If you can get by with a 44 pound weight paper, then it seems that this printer can handle it. I would guess an occasional piece of cardstock won't kill it but if you primarily print cardstock you might want a more robust printer. Hope this helps! PS. I usually use a high quality paper to print normal copies and it's #22 - just for comparison.

I have not been able to get my Epson XP-400 to print on any medium-heavy weight card stock, even when I hand feed it single sheets. I have a friend who was able to ram a few sheets of 100# pages through, but then the printer wouldn't pull any type of paper through after that. I highly recommend you don't ram paper through - the person below who says "Its' not an HP" so you can rough the printer up does not appear to be trustworthy or logical.

I have not tried double sided printing with it, but it does not feel any more thin than any other regular copy and printing paper does. Its not card stock as you know, but does not seem extra "thin" as others have stated. I have not had any trouble printing or copying with it. Never gets stuck while printing either.

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.

I have never tried that application. However, I am extremely satisfied with this printer and can't see why the heavier paper would pose a problem.
