I'm debating whether to buy this "textured" card stock or the Avery regular card stock. Can anyone compare them for me?

This stock lends itself to a softer look when using for pictures on the cover, nice textured background for the text on the inside. I use both and happy with either but there are the occasions when I want an antiqued type presentation and the textured fills the bill. Hope this helps you.

I like Avery card stock. I have compared it to Hallmark and this is heavier paper but still not as heavy as it used to be but I'm happy with it. It is easy to fold because of it is prescored. It works for me and I print a lot of cards.

Textured card stock makes my cards look like I purchased them and not like I printed them from home. I can't tell you how many times people told me thanks for the lovely card. There have been absolutely no problems with the paper working in my printer and I don't think they cost any more than regular card stock. Go fancy and have fun!

I like textured better because it has the feel of a greeting card more than just a thick piece piece of paper. This is not photographic paper so images are not as sharp l - more artistic then photographic.

The 3378 textured greeting cards are horrible. They don't print well and the envelopes won't go through either of my printers. You'd be much better off with 3265 - they're much better.

I love & use Avery products; prefer them to others. The textured stock appears more professional with a warmer feel. Try them & see for yourself!

I think it has a richer look than non textured. But I like to handwrite my cards inside as apposed to printing them and it's a little harder to write on. I'm probably the only one that writes my own cards. Think it's more personal.

I love this cardstock!! Textured is great, to me it feels like a card you would buy, and looks like one if youhave a good printer and ink

I make a lot of cards, and prefer the textured stock to regular for general purpose cards. I use the photo stock when putting a photo on the front of the card. I also have feathered edge stock, but sometimes have trouble getting it to feed in the printer. I never use regular, which seems a little flat and uninspired. Hope this helps.

Why yes the consistency I believe is that of card stock. I hope this helps U.

First, I ordered premium but got regular. So I am not sure if you are going to get the correct product but the difference is only the quality pretty much. Premium are thicker and regular ones are more cheap plastic and bend easily. But honestly I got mine in January 2014 and if you insert cards and leave them they won't break for sure. At least mine are still durable unless ofcourse you bend them hard enough.

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

Hi Simon! These are heavier than regular kraft paper, but lighter than normal card stock... I hope this helps!

I had trouble with heavy stock paper. The rollers jam the paper. So, I would expect that heavy card stock might. But, if you're referring to invitation or christmas card stock paper, it will work, but you can't do a very long run. Better to print in batches. Hope this helps.

Avery doesn't list the thichness on the box, but I find the card stock substantial and it feeds well through an injet printer. The resulting card is as good or better than what you would buy in a greeting card store. For further info visit avery.com and check on product number 3378.

Yes. Plus it's very high quality! It has become my favorite card stock, and the price it's 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.

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.

I use this paper all the time. I make a calendar each each and use this paper. It isn't thick like card stock, but it thicker than average paper. You would be wise to mount the print before you frame it, the paper can curve due to environmental conditions (humidity etc). But it is nice paper. I also have the same printer, so you are in good shape.

I would recommend it for card stock but not all other papers. By foam are you thinking thin open cell foam sheet for that I would say yes. But it will not work on foam core stock.

I tried mine on fairly thick stock and was pleased with the result. It shows up well on white paper, too -- I use it on card envelopes for a return address.

Suze, sorry but it doesn't say on the box. You might check the avery.com site for a specific weight. I find the cards to be a nice not-too-heavy but not-too-light card stock. I order the matte finish. The envelopes are nice as well.

It seems to be the weight of card stock. I like the lighter weight best (sort of like a light card stock) because when one folds these in 4 fold, they immediately break in half. Thanks for your question because it made me look at the text on the box once again and now I see that although the image looks like the card would be a 4 fold, the text clearly says: "2 cards per sheet". So they are meant to break apart easily and cleanly. If you don't mind that these are not the 4 folds, and 2 cards per sheet will be acceptable, then you will have two cards of good quality on a very nice stock. I hope this helps you.

Very good on both. I have use the Hallmark card program with several HP printers that make a card identical to obes you can buy. With this Samsung printer it makes them almost identical to the inkjet. I say "almost" because it is not, but it is very close, and I think a different cardstock, might do the trick. Labels on Avery stock come out perfect. You can change the type of paper on the display. When you open the drawer for the paper and putting something different you ask you if you want to change the type of paper. Hope this answered your question.

The one pictured is probably about twice as thick as standard Xerox paper. It is 44lb. The one I have is 27lb and is about as thick as standard Xerox paper. Usually the thicker card stock is around 80lb and up. Usually I get 120lb for business card thick. This should be thicker but still not cardstock. It will be like two sheets of Xerox paper thick I imagine.
