Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
The printer supports various paper sizes and "card" paper to 200 gsm / 110lb.
Brochure paper is supported - typically 180 gsm.
Business card papers usually run heavier than the paper weight limitation for most printers.
For example, card paper at 247 gsm is too heavy for this and most other consumer or small office HP printers.
Top loading printers are typically meant for "light duty" printing on limited paper sizes and types.
You might be able to print lighter weight business cards using this printer.
The paper must be made for an InkJet printer.
Anything heavier than 180-200 gsm is not supported
Paper heavier than supported would likely result in a paper jam if tried.
