How well does it print on 100lb card stock or cover stock?

It can fit/ print pretty good on 100lb card stock just when you print under printer controls make sure you select first Print Settings>MEdia Type> Premium Presentation Paper Matte. This makes the printer know your printing on card stock. In the printers instructions it will say what each media types settings can be used for various Lb thickness. So the printer knows what speed and quality to print on to avoid jams. If you can clarify the paper it is (company and type/ color) I can give a more clear review since I print on most specialty heavy weight papers papers.

It's worked well when I've used it with cover stock or photo paper. I'm about to try a project with card stock and will report back.

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.

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.

I've used it to print on 110lb card stock, with varying results. A lot of it depends on the program you're printing from. I've had good success using photoshop managed color profiles and printing to the card stock.

I print on 280g (about 120lb) specialized coated papers and it works great.

I have printed on 80lb and it works perfectly and I just recently got 120 lb but haven't been able to try it. I will try it and let you know.

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.

I've not been successful with card stock - even with 60 pound paper. It's great with 24 pound paper and envelopes but when I tried the card stock it just kept hanging up. Hope this is helpful to you.

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.

Yes I have printed on card stock several times. I've used 8.5 by 11 and smaller sheets 4 x 6 and all printed easily.

Expect jamming problems with 110 lb index and 80 lb card stock (they are about the same weight and thickness). I wouldn't use this unit for anything greater than 60 lb card stock. But check the operating manual or go on the KM website to confirm the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the printer's official limitations. Be aware that very heavy stock cannot be flipped over without jamming except in those units that are specifically made to handle heavy stock, like the Xante Ilumina.

Cool thanks for the info. I will go with this printer while there is such a great sale going on. I needed to know that card stock worked OK and that I could stack it in.

yes, it does print on card stock. i often print on 8.5" x 11" stardream metallic 105lb card stock. i always use the straight feed path. as a side note, i've even sent karen foster design, inc., adhesive cork sheets through the straight feed with satisfactory print results!

Full size card stock works well From the regular tray, and can be printed on both sides. Smaller card stock is handled in a second tray, which I have not used, but assume works equally as well.

I used it to print a hundred postcards on 100lb stock, and it jammed a couple times, but otherwise worked well.

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.

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.)

I don't know of a maximum thickness, but I have printed on photo paper and business card sheets - both of which use heavier stock.

I never got that far, I bought it to print CD, with Mac Mountain Lion, it didn't work. All I used was plain paper and every one came out mangled on one side. So, not sure about card stock. Epson always been a good brand so maybe I just got a bad one.

Hi, in the multipurpose tray, the printer will use 50 or 60 lb card stock. Look at this link on page four for technical specifications: http://www.printermalls.com/pdfs/MB451w.pdf. Let us know if we can be of further help. Printermalls

Joan, I bought the HP e8100 printer and it will not take the 110 lb card stock either, eventhough it says it takes card stock and has no weight limit listed. The HP tech support in India told me that the printer was working just fine because it printed on regular paper without a problem. He said that I needed to contact Adobe because it was a problem with the Adobe file that I was trying to print. (The printer would not grab the paper and feed it thru the machine) Calling tech support was a waste of time. I am returning the machine.

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.
