Product: 5520
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'd like to find out what is the max weight card my 5520 should reliably accept and can't find an answer on the website.

I now have a nice collection of card and photo papers that are useless! They come in handy for the grandkids to mess about with!

I would like to print double sided onto as thick card as possible

Cheers

Phil
