does it print on card stock?

Regular paper cardstock from office supply stores (staples, office depot, fedex office etc.) Yes. Other paper companies (neenah, Paper Mill etc.) only go up to 100lb card stock.

Yes it does. I've had my printer for several months now, use it in my home office, and I'm still 100% satisfied with the performance of this machine.

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

If you are planning to print on card stock, I would strongly suggest you not buy this printer. Card stock, even the light cardstock such as business cards will not feed consistently...gets worse as the printer is used. Look for a printer that has a rear feed. I bought a Canon IP4920 for that purpose alone...it works great. The Epson 730 has a lot of nice features and works well as a network printer (but doesn't support Windows 8...yet) I love the little special drawer that prints on CD/DVDs....works great....software for that (and the scanner) is nice as well.

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

Yes it can, from the top cartridge. The bottom cannot feed card stock. I load the regular paper in the lower tray, card stock in the upper and set the defaults on our computers as the lower tray so I can print thick stock whenever I want.

Card stock is listed as a paper type on the printer menu, but I have not personally tried it.

Yes. I use card stock to create greeting cards and business cards all of the time with no problems. The colors are crisp and the feed is pretty fast considering it's an ink jet printer. IO do find that the machine is sensative when it gets down to the last 2 or three pages. Sometimes it reacts as if the paper ran out. so, just make sure you have a nice fill of paper in the feed tray. I also have a Pixma MP560. The 560 has two feeds and both work perfectly. I bought the MG5420 because it works with wirelessly my Ipad and iphone and, a rare feature; it prints on CD's and DVD's.

Very poorly. Even with laser-specific (which is thinner) card stock such as Avery 5876. It refuses to feed from the manual tray about 80% of the time, reporting a 'jam" when there isn't one. When it does feed, more thn half of the time it doesn't feed it straight so you waste a lot of expensive card stock. Don't buy it if you need to print card stock often.

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.

It does, but it sometimes it causes paper jams. For me, the 110# stock seems to work better from Tray 1 than the multi-purpose tray. From the printer menu, under tray configuration you can specify 3 card stock types. I have yet to figure out what the 3 different options mean. I've guessed that card stock number 3 is the heaviest weight stock, so I usually use this setting. I have the best luck using the MP tray with 80# cover and feeding each sheet one at a time. Works perfectly every time this way.

It will, but use the lightest card stock you can find. Most colors come in several weights, use the lightest and you'll be fine. This printer likes lightweight stock and handles it with fewer problems.

Other people said yes so I tested it. I don't have card stock per se but it worked on the cardboard from the back of a yellow pad.

Huh? Another answer says there's an extra tray in the rear of the printer for card stock. Not on my MX472. And no mention of it in the on-line tutorial. The only way mine prints is to feed them through like paper. Am I missing something?

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

I use it regularly with 110# card stock and it will print on it. You might need to watch the feed. I've not had a jam but I have had more than one piece of paper try to run through at the same time. Overall, I'd say this is a very dependable and versatile printer.

I have one, too. It accepts card stock fine, but the print quality thereon is abysmal. What settings do you use?Thanks!

You can print it on anything including plain paper. The cardstock from Walmart should be fine.

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