The specs say printer tray 1 prints 47-58lb paper (i.e. Cardstock). Has anyone tried heavier weight cardstock and what was the result?

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.

I have used photo paper and it worked just fine...keep in mind I used the sheet feeder

I have used card stock as pamphlet covers and this machine cleanly punches. Today, I tested four sheets of cardstock. The machine punched through all four sheets cleanly and smoothly, without any extra effort. I have never used cardstock heavier than the usual 65 paperweight. Hope this helps. Thanks.

It's rated for 60 pages of 75 lb. max. card stock. I've used Georgia Pacific, 110 lb, card stock in mine, but did not always print with good quality.

Yes, it does print wonderfully on 90 to 110lb. card stock.If your an avid fan of re-filling your own ink cartridges, this printer is super easy to do.If not E-bay is a great place to buy re-placement cartridges,for a fraction of the cost of buying from a retail store.And the quality is just as good.

I also have a heavy office printer. I don't know exactly how much it weighs but it can withstand mine. I have an hp 6310 officejet.

According to their specifications it will only do up to 80lb paper through the manual feeder. http://www.okidata.com/printers/multifunction/mc362-562/description Paper Weight: Main Tray/Opt. 2nd Tray 17 lb. bond - 65 lb. cover (64-176 gsm); RADF 16 lb. - 28 lb. bond (60-105 gsm); MPT 17 lb. bond - 80 lb. cover (64-220 gsm)

Hi Jill. I've used the printer to print thicker stock than regular paper and it struggled a little. Couple jams or incorrect feeds before I got what I wanted. It's a good printer. But I'm not sure how pictures would do. Hoped this helped.

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.

Mine refused to print on 50-weight paper. However, I don't think Lexmark claims it will accept paper above 22-weight.

The one we received only has 1 paper tray. I will say that we have had zero issues with this printer and use it in an office with 8 employees who print on a regular, fairly heavy basis. It has been a workhorse.

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.

No answer, just want to concur. The printer claims it can handle cardstock by offering a paper setting in its printer manager software for cardstock but it always jams when trying to feed it from the tray.

I just tried two samples of heavy paper. I don't know the paper weight (don't have the original packing), but I measured the thickness. The .009 inch thick paper went through the printer, but it was curled when it came out. The other sample is .010 thick got stuck and did not go through. Hope this helps.

I've printed on cardstock, not sure if that's 100 LB or not- I make my own greeting cards from paintings I've done. It worked as well as on the regular weight paper. I do bump up the black a little when printing scans.

The printer is not good for thicker cover weight paper. I tried 67# and it curled tighter than a tootsie roll, basically unusable. And the duplexer jammed every single time. The duplexer will not processes paper over standard weight. I'm disappointed. I'd appreciate recommendations of a printer that prints flat 2 sided on thicker paper.

I'm not sure how thick card stock is but I've used 110 lb paper but you have to use the rear feed, NOT the paper tray.Hope this helps,Jeffery

Have not tried anything heavier inkjet paper. However, I also have a 17" dual rail model which will cut 1/16" mat board. I think you will have better luck with the dual rail models. However, the price escalates.
