Does this printer work on cardstock paper?

I just performed a test to see how it will do. I loaded 5 sheets of heavyweight card stock in the tray. The first one fed and printed fine, the rest jammed. I tried a couple times with no success. It will feed a single sheet at a time through the front feed (what I call the envelope feeder), but it is not reliable at feeding a stack of heavyweight card stock. EDIT******** Well, I'll be darned. Looks like I just need to do a little more reading. I tried what Stephen suggested, (Setting the paper to thick) and it worked fine. My apologies, it works with card stock.

Yes. You have to feed it manually so that it doesn't bend while going through the multiple page stack, but the manual shows you how.

Yes. I have actually never used it for photos on photo paper, just on regular paper. Prints regular stuff just fine.

Hello! I print my own cards and I have two printers that I have used to print cards using this card stock. I have a Hewelett Packard (HP) Officejet Pro 8500 (it's the older of my two printers) and a Canon MG 6220. actually, both printers do a fine job of printing using this card stock. (I make all of my cards for Birthday's, get well, etc.) I love doing it and this card stock works very nicely. Betsy

I haven't used cardstock yet. I just tried printing a cardstock insert for dvd case and had no problem printing it but I did just one sheet.

Yes but the paper must be loaded in the rear tray 1 sheet at a time, more than one sheet will jam the printer.

I have printed on 8 1/2 inch label sheets--works well, they've never jammed. I have not used the printer for card stock as of yet.

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

Yes, it prints envelopes. I have easily and successfully printed standard size envelopes using Word running on a Mac. Printing custom sized Christmas card envelopes, however, was a bit tricky, but I was finally able to get it to work.

it works really good on plain and premium paper. It works on USB connection and network. I connected this printer to my home network. my whole family loved to prints 11x17 most of the times.

How thick of a cardstock? I think with this printer it would (I haven't tried it but I did use a thicker photo paper which worked fine). Because the paper is stored in the bottom paper holder, unlike older printers where paper was top loaded and prone to mistakes. But I would think it would work for the 600.

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.

One reviewer named Gregory on Dec 24 reports it does NOT print with cardstock but his review is mostly negative. I'll let you know when mine arrives!

Yes, I use it to print on cardstock regularly and have never had a jam, but like the previous reviewer said you can't duplex print on cardstock. I've never tried duplex printing on paper, so I can't comment on if that function even works or not. But I do feel I should mention that after having had this printer for less than 7 months, mine stopped printing in color today. From reading these other reviews I'm guessing it's a printhead problem. So even with it's ability to print on card stock I can't claim to be totally happy with this printer. I plan to call Lexmark tomorrow about the printhead issue.

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.

I have used 110 lb cardstock with this printer and it prints fine with it. They recommend loading "special" paper from the back, but I've used it in the front-loading tray. As to the envelope question, there is a guide both in the front and rear. As to whether or not it's specific for envelopes, I don't know. I haven't printed envelopes yet. But the guides to adjust to accommodate envelope-sized items.

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.

I use cardstock only with my machine. I use it to print out maps for search and rescue. I like the machine a lot. also ink is cheaper at ld products. .
