CAN HP ENVY DO 110 LB CARDSTOCK?

[TAZZYDEB58]

what paper type should i select when printing on 110 lb card stock on my HP envy 6052?

[Valsimot]

You can't print on such heavy paper, that is way too heavy for that printer model to handle.

For that printer model, plain paper maximum is 90gsm, everything over that weight will jam.

Apologies for jumping in unannounced.

@TAZZYDEB58 

I don't have this printer and cannot confirm its behavior.

That said, the Specs do include Index Card Paper as a usable media (paper type).

 Product Specifications for the HP ENVY 6052 All-In-One Printer (5SE18A)

Paper Handling

Media weight supported (metric)	A4: 60 to 90 g/m²; HP envelopes: 75 to 90 g/m²; HP cards: up to 200 g/m²; HP 10 x 15 cm photo paper: up to 300 g/m²
Media weight supported (U.S. standard) (Paper)	20 lb

The problem might be paper type selection.

True:  If you cannot find a way to set the paper type, the printer won't accept the paper.

Standard types for this printer

Media types

Plain Paper; HP Photo Papers; HP Matte Brochure or Professional Paper; HP Matte Presentation Paper; HP Glossy Brochure or Professional Paper; Other Photo Inkjet Papers; Other Matte Inkjet Papers; Other Glossy Inkjet Papers; Plain Paper, Light/Recycled

If you have installed the Full Feature Software for the printer, the driver should provide at least the standard paper types in Printing Preferences and likely make those paper types available to other software / applications used to submit jobs to the printer.

Try / Consider

If "card" , "Index card" are not found in your paper type list,

Try / Consider "Brochure matte"

Will that work?

Maybe - HP Brochure paper is typically 180 gsm which is close to the 200 gsm (110 lb) card paper.

And, yes - @Valsimot is right - the paper might jam.

To reduce the chances that this will happen:

Double check the weight of your card paper - 200 gsm is the top of the supported weight class - make sure the paper is not actually heavier stock.

If you have not done so, Install the Full Feature Software (full driver)

HP Envy 6055 | HP Envy Pro 6455 : Download & Install HP Full solution software on Win 10 Computer

Set the paper type in the Embedded Web Server (EWS) and in your printing preferences.

Example

Retain_Printing_Preferences_1

Finally, set the paper type in whatever software / application you are using to view and submit the job to the printer.
