What is a good printer for printing on card stock? -

I have been printing postcard mailouts on my printers. I think the rollers have worn because of this. Does anyone know of a good printer for printing card stock from Avery? The cards do not have any high def graphics. It is mainly small clip art and words.

Depends if you mean a laser or an inkjet printer, For alaser, going to be limited, as postcard stock it really quite think, many printers can go to 160gsm stock on thick mode, but no higher, If you need inkjet (remember inks not watertights) then an Epson would be my suggestion, with a continuous ink system. I have one and Love it Haven t replaced a cart in over a year, just quot;topped upquot; the feed bottles . . . check out www.continuousink.com

If you re looking at black only, you want a printer capable of a straight through paper path, such as the HP Laserjet 2100 (discontinued.) I do not know the current model printers that are capable of this. With that printer, you can load card stock in the manual feed tray, and it pulls it through the printer without significantly bending the card stock if you have it set to exit through the rear door. This is your best bet to prevent jams. The pickup rollers will wear out, but on most HP printers, they are user replacable, and they can be reconditioned as a temporary fix by removing them and washing with dish soap and water.

I have always had problems with card stock in HP printers because the paper needs to flip over in them. As a result, the thicker paper jams quite often. My Epson and Canon printers handle the card stock well.
