Just purchased a HP Smart Tank 7602. I need to print on card stock paper.  Would the use of this kind of paper cause issues to my printer?

Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

The printer supports "HP Card" / Index Card paper to 200 gsm / 100lb.

 

Card Stock varies and might be made from different base paper types.

 

If, for example, your Card Stock is made from "Cover Paper", the resulting weight is considerably heavier than when the card paper is made from "Text" or "Index" paper.

 

Yes, paper types is a whole subject on its own.

 

Trying to print on paper types not supported by the printer might balk, refuse, jam, creep part way through and get stuck (same as jam except it gives you hope before it fails).

 

Specifications include supported Media sizes, types, weights.

 

Media Size (facet)Letter; A4; Legal; 4 x 6 in; Executive
Media Sizes Custom (imperial)3.5 x 5 in to 8.5 x 14 in
