What printer do you use to print on this? My printer can't handle media this thick. Suggestions for a small printer with a straight paper path?

I don't print directly on adhesive magnet... I usually use a adhesive photo paper. Silhouette cut them with a magnet configuration.

Greetings - It's the extra paper tray. Likely not worth it...unless you have a glaring need to print different paper sizes and/or high volume.

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?

Tip on printing greeting cards. Use Matte finish presentation paper. Make them 1/4 fold design. You'll get awsome quality and they're easier to fold than card stock anyway. It's normally 32 to 35# HP brand seems to be the best value at this time.That said....I don't think I want this printer as I often need to print on heavy paper for other print jobs.

Hi, I've been using 192gm which is not as heavy but still quite thick and I've had no problems. I've never tried a heavier stock. I would assume if you are paying for a larger printer it should be able to accommodate heavier stock anyway.

I ended up with the MP620. It seems okay so far, but I really have not done much with it yet...just printed out a few regular pages. Haven't tried the scanner, copier , or photo printing yet. Keep on meaning to , but just haven't yet....I will try some of these things in the next few days and send another reply if that will help. One thing, it said "quick start" and it doesn't seem to be very quick, but there may be some setting I have to change for that and I've pretty much just been turning it on and clicking print....

I have had epson r1800 for more than 8 years and never had a problem with paper feed. I use only Epson and Ilford premium paper. What kind of paper do you use, what is its thickness? Sorry, I cannot help any more than this.

Maybe you can find an answer from the manual you can download. I bought one of these printers and had to return it and purchase another one that works properly. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I am able to print beautiful 13 x 19 prints with this printer. I only use Epson paper and inks. They frame well and are archival. I love this printer except for smaller sized paper which does not feed reliably. I thinbk you should be satisfied with the quality of the work it produces.

Your best bet is to buy a Brother MFC7860DW. I pushed my HP printer off a cliff a while ago...Never again.

I wish I could help you. It is not a good printer, I have other problems. I wish I had returned it.

I'm surprised, I think the document feeder is the best I've personally experienced of at least 4 printers of different makes. I would tell you about the same as Craig Kuper - thinking it is possibly the type of paper or try one of the techniques to create an air spacing temporarily between the pages. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

If you are on a tight budget, determine if you need a wide-format or special material printer. If not, skip this one. This one does 11x17 (I was using that) and even rolled paper (not used by me). The problem with it is that it does not handle card stock reliably. Because Epson does not make the type of paper stock I use most (4-up postcards) I bought the Avery product the Epson website recommended. Finding the right paper setting for the particular stock you want to print ends up costing you in wasted ink and paper. My biggest issue is with the tech support people who make everything the consumer's fault and basically have NO constructive suggestions on how to fix the problems.

This printer jams on single sheets so I doubt it would handle something thicker, then again maybe it would? The spot it jams at isn't accessible. We had to take it appart to get the jammed paper out, then tried to print again & it jammed up again, so it sits with the paper still jammed in tight and I bought a Brother. Good Luck

It did not work for me. I have a different printer but I think these things are a gamble. Good Luck.

I got mine printed at a local printery. If you have a decent printer it can work. The paper is thicker than the regular office printing paper, but it's not heavy. Take it from me you will not regret it. I used mine at my wedding for my programs & everyone loved them.
