Hello, I was wondering if my printer was capable of printing Cardstock and what thickness if it does. I can’t see a card setting in the paper selection bit? If it doesn’t what printer would be best for a at home budget.

 

thank you

Are you using one of the card stock paper in the above list?

@L-bow,

 

I read your post and thanks for responding. It is great to have you back. As @senan6806 is out for the day, I am responding on his behalf.

 

You need to use card stock that is listed in theproduct specifications of the printer which is compatible with the printer. Only those will work.

 

Thanks and have a great week ahead.
