I used them to print everything for my wedding so far and they have both held up really well. Envelopes, cardstock, photos, etc etc. If you're looking for one printer in particular to actually purchase, I find my Epson RX680 to be the best buy since it's an 3-in-one (scan, copy, print) and prints envelopes.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/can-you-print-on-cardstock#post-698459 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 20:16:15 +0000 lrwedd 698459@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the info bees! Very helpful, I'll probably just try to a sample on our printer before I go and buy a bunch. &nbsp;I just wasn't sure if it would print at all.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/can-you-print-on-cardstock#post-698371 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:54:21 +0000 elizabeth.blankenhorn 698371@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Most of the time yes. It helps to go into your printing preferences and select card stock for your paper option so the printer can adjust to picking up the heavier weight. Good luck!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/can-you-print-on-cardstock#post-698368 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:52:54 +0000 shannon1126 698368@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I am thankful for this post because I was just wondering all this. Can you ladies recommend a good printer for this? I am needing to get a new one anyways&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/can-you-print-on-cardstock#post-698356 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:50:39 +0000 spaniel 698356@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Yes, but some laser printers handle it better than others. Mine prints fine, but curls the paper (which just means I need lots of time to flatten it out!).</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/can-you-print-on-cardstock#post-698346 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:48:17 +0000 luckyyou 698346@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>You can definitely print on thick paper like that - you just need to set your printer to the appropriate thickness. Laser will give you more of a solid, bright color, but will crack on the fold. Inkjet will probably not give you as bright of a print out, but you should be able to fold it no problem. Or you can just design it so no color/graphics/text goes over the creases and you can do either! :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/can-you-print-on-cardstock#post-698341 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:47:07 +0000 ZoeKat 698341@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Yep! I used a pretty serious laser printer at FI's work, though. I put about 20 sheets of 80lb in at a time and it printed like a dream. We have a dinky Samsung laser printer at home and I wouldn't even try it with that one.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/can-you-print-on-cardstock#post-698303 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:38:38 +0000 kate6214 698303@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Mine has done both 80lb and 110lb, though I only put in a few sheets at a time. The quality was fine for me.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/can-you-print-on-cardstock#post-698212 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:13:03 +0000 ClairDarling 698212@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>i have a laser printer and it prints 80lb just fine.&nbsp; 110lb not so much...</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/can-you-print-on-cardstock#post-698010 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:18:44 +0000 lauren810c 698010@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I tried it at work...and it came up lighter than i would have liked..so I am printing on reg paper and glueing cardstock behind it.</p>
