Hi Lovelylady,Thank you for your inquiry!Manufacturer states that they can use card stock as long as the paper is no thicker than 11 mils. Some of the papers in our catalog will state the mil thickness.BisonOffice

I use this printer for card stock (24pt blister cards which is heavier than 100lb stock), using the rear sheet feeder. (The stock I use is 4" x 5", so I can't try it in the paper tray.) 100lb card stock will work fine through the rear feeder - I'm not sure how it will work through the paper tray.

Yes. I have used it on 80 lb stock. It will probably only print well on one side because the paper will curl a little.

Yes. It will print on card stock. I just tried it a couple of days ago and it worked fine.

I have successfully laminated two sheets of 65lb card stock together in a pocket. One would think that if the paper were too thick the machine wouldn't accept it, but I have not experienced any problems.

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.

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.

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.

The Pro205 and other "top-loading" Lexmark printers will print on heavy stock just fine. But duplexing card stock is not supported. (make sure the Eco-mode is not set to automatic duplex). The reason some products have trouble with heavy card stock is because it is trying to pull paper around a very tight curve in the paper path. (I work for Lexmark, but my comments are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of Lexmark International, Inc.)

This printer works great with 100lb (271gsm) cover stock. Most of my printing is on heavyweight stock i.e. 270gsm Bristol board and 330gsm art paper - this Epson WorkForce WF-7510 has not jammed once. I would not try the 600gsm paper that my Canon Pro9000 MKII can take because the Epson path is not straight like the Canon and I would expect it to jam.

Yes it prints greeting card stock beautifully. I use hallmark software and set the printer up according to the softwares instructions. Once you do this the software remembers and instructs you each time how to insert the card stock.

I don't know for sure but it it has no trouble at all with 90 # stock. When you get up in those weights the flexibility of the paper influences printing, I think - so it's important to keep the paper sealed before you use it.

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

I have not done card stocks but it did do a nice job on envelopes. I would reccomend this printer highly no problems so far.

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.

Joan, so I got this email from Amazon asking if I could answer your question. I'm just another user like you and all I can say is that I'm using it with 65 lb paper and it works fine. I didn't know that they set a 110 lb limit on it and I'll probably not have occasion to use that heavy of card stock. Are you trying to print 2 sided printing? If so, you may try just printing single side, then refeeding. That's pretty heavy stock. Good luck.

not sure what by "heavy stock" you mean. Te most I tried was 30 pages of 24lb weight; the puncher hesitated, but handled it nicely. It is heavy duty, but for your application I am not sure if you require better one. From the other hand, Amazon has excellent returning policy. FYI: the stapler is made in China.

I've used card stock with no problem; although, I don't have the package so I'm not sure of the exact weight. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Overall, this has been a great printer.
