I am trying to print on something called Nicole's BeadBacking, which is a heavy, stiff, fiber-based paper.  It goes through other types of inkjet printers with no problem.  I can't get my printer  to pull the sheet through.  It jams about 3 inches into the printer.  I can't find anything that allows me to change the setting for thickness of paper.  If I used an art program like CorelDraw, would this help?  Is there any way I can use Microsoft Office programs to print on this kind of paper?

I do not see any spec's on the Nicole's BeadBacking site for thickness, but based on the pictures it looks way too thick to print directly.  You might consider printing to an iron-on transfer material to get patterns onto the bead backing material.  According to the media handling specs on page 176 of the maunal here the maximum weight for index cards would be 110lb material.

Darn.  I had such hopes for this bead backing.  Oh well.  Thanks for the suggestion, Bob -- I'll give that a try.
