Hi @Help1er80,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.  


Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

The Photosmart 5520 printer is compatible with a variety of paper types, including cardstock. However, it's important to note that the maximum supported paperweight may vary depending on the printer model. To ensure compatibility and avoid potential printing issues, I recommend consulting the printer's manual or specifications provided by the HP.

 

In general, the Photosmart 5520 should be able to handle cardstock paper up to a certain weight. While the specific weight limit may not be mentioned in the manual, it's typically recommended to use cardstock paper with a weight between 45 lbs and 110 lbs (or 150-300 gsm) for inkjet printers.

 

Based on this range, the 110 lbs (or 200 gsm) cardstock you mentioned should work well with your printer. However, it's still advisable to refer to the printer's documentation to confirm the recommended paper weights and specifications to achieve the best print results.

 

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
