printer for 110# cardstock.

[enigma]

im doing some research for a new printer. are there any known printers out there that natively support printing on 110# media? i generally get the 110# cardstock from the boxstore when i work on models. i would really like to find a printer that can print this by design. instead of fighting with it like i did with my old printer. im looking at the epson artian 1430 with a cis. but looking at epson they are saying the max is 79# to run through there printer. also a big plus is a straight paper pathway.

is any one out there currently working with a printer that can handle cardstock of this weight that can give me some suggestions.

thank you for your time.

I use a Lexmark 2500 and have no problems running 110 index.

any home printer can handle 110lb cardstock...its not that heavy.
I have personally used 110lb card in about 6 different types of home printer.

word of advice...try switching to 65lb card.
You'll find, for most parts and construction, it is just as rigid, stiff, strong...
but it rolls, forms, bends, curves so much better!
Without the creasing and fighting of 110lb card.

I tell you this from experience.
When I started modeling, all I used, for everything, was 110lb card.
And then found 65lb.

!'ve been running 100# Bristol though my Epson 1400 and Stylus Photo 2200 for a couple of years with no problems.
The 100# Bristol is heavier than the standard 110# card stock.
I do not use the straight through paper path.

often, the weight (and durability) of your building medium can be associated directly with your subject. despite what many will tell you, stretch and curvature are possible, but the more "rigid" the design (armor vs. aircraft), the more "flexible" the medium and technique alternatives may be...

My HP's haven't let me down yet.

Every Epson I've ever had has done well with 110 lb card. And that is a lot of different Epsons. My current stable of Epsons (Workforce 1100, 600, 125XL) all handle poster board without complaining.

Acouple of weeks ago i buy a new HP Office jet 7500A Wide format A3 printer.
I tested many kinds of papers and don't have any problems.
From 80gr til 125gr (showcase cardboard, which i use for my super big models)
But I'm sorry if you don't mean this.
Its jus an sugestion.

I have used my Canon PIXMA iP6220D with no problems using the regular feed slot. I have also run manila file folders the same way. Uses lots of ink at $55 - $65 a set for carts.
