can I use card stock with this printer

It did work on light business card stock, but it jammed when I used Avery 5361 Laminated I.D. Cards.

Yes! For some reason I had to put more than one piece in at a time. Should work!

No. This was one of the disappointments as it makes printing to card stock impractical.

I have not done this, but the printer will handle 12" wide papers, and using the rear feed slot will handle card stock, according to the instructions that came with the printer.

The printer manual says 176-220g card stock. I have printed on 67# cardstock on one side without any problem using the optional real output tray. I would only use the optional rear output option.

I'm not sure how thick of a card stock you are using but I use 100lb matte card stock paper all the time on this printer and it comes our flawlessly!

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.

I have used it successfully with postcard stock. Haven't tried anything heavier. I have not experienced ANY problems with this printer--print on CD's, scan to email, fax, etc. Very happy with it.

It is simply card stock paper with matching envelopes. Probably works with any printer brand with proper setup. The computer sending information to the printer should not be a factor in your purchase.

No, this printer cannot handle thick card stock. It takes paper from a bottom tray and then bends the paper in a 'U' shape internally to print and exit to you. As such, any stock that cannot bend easily may either not be taken in or may jam during printing. I've tried with thick watercolor paper for example, and the printer was unable to grab the paper. I suggest you look for a gravity feed printer for printing on thick stock.

I'm sorry I can't give you an answer since I haven't tried using card stock myself. Maybe Best Buy or some other store could let you test it out.

I'm not sure about card stock. I do have direct experience with some majors issues with this model printer. We installed these for a few at least 8 clients. With in 6 months of installing we've had a 50% failure rate. This printer has some serious design flaws that Epson is aware of, bit they are still selling it. Don't by this model.

this will help. When you load the paper tray first load regular printer paper then place your card stock on top of the your regular paper and now you should be able to print. Good luck hope this helps..

I don't recall trying cardstock through the printer in the past, mostly because the toner is so expensive. When I've printed jobs that need cardstock I printed high volume so I used my printers that use cheap cartridges. Anyway, I just tried a 110 lb cardstock through the HP MFP M175. It worked fine printing a detailed b&w; image.

Yes it will provided you use a normal card stock (i.e. business card stock or greeting card stock). Thicker stocks tend to slip or jam. One other caveat - the stock will come out with a slight curve or bend to it, so you have to bend it back into a flat piece of paper. No big deal, just want you to be aware. The machine is rock solid and produces very nice images. (Oh, and don't use glossy stock unless it is specifically formulated for laser printers instead of inkjet printers. The ink won't fuse to glossy stock and will smear right off the paper.) Hope that helps.

I have not had any problems printing on card stock. I think your best bet is to contact Dell and make sure you get a US rep.

I have never used card stock (yet)...but I have owned Canon Printers for YEARS-- and I could count ALL the paper-jams on one hand, and not use all the fingers... Others have said they printed card-stock just fine.

This printer's inability to handle card stock is a known issue to HP. Their forums are full of 8620 owners that can't print card stock or photo paper. I have tried the software solutions suggested here and on the forums without success; the printer always gives me a "Paper Empty" error. My opinion, they used cheap material for the paper rollers and they aren't as sticky as they ought to be.One thing that may work is to clean the pick roller, which is the roller that grabs the paper off the stack. It's underneath the printer, and you'll have to turn the printer on its side to clean it.But really, all that should be unnecessary; HP just blew it this time.
