Default printing on SU! cardstock?

hey Everyone,

I have run georgia pacific cardstock thru our printer without problem.
Now I need to do some postcards for a wedding, on SU! colored CS.
It won't suck in- it jams everytime. Is it too thick for home printers?
Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Anne

I haven't had any luck w/SU paper in my printer (except for Whisper White) I had to take mine to the copy place and do it there....I just printed out on copy paper then took my SU paper and copied there!

I have never had any problem printing on any SU cardstock. I don't put the paper in the paper tray - I always manually feed the paper through and I select the "flat path" paper exit.

There may be a different thickness setting on your printer. Check that. I have successfully printed on both inkjet and laserjet printers with SU! CS.

Default one at a time

I too have had good luck printing on SU cardstock, but I do put one sheet at a time in the feeder.

Thanks! I was feeding it one sheet at a time, but I will look up the printer and see if there are any other options.
If not, lol, I will do the print shop idea!!

Thanks!

Anne

You should be able to change your settings in the print driver to cardstock instead of regular paper. I agree, also, with the one sheet at a time idea!

is there a separate setting for printing envelopes? That setting would (ok, should!) work. Sometimes with mine I will still need to press my finger firmly against the back edge of the cardstock because the feeder rolls need a little help grabbing the paper. Once it does, though, it goes through without further trouble.

It depends on the type of printer you have. If it needs to turn in the printer, it won't work. However, mine doubles as a fax machine and thus the paper always remains flat and it works

My cardstock makes a turn, but works fine as long as I get my settings right.

I did have it set for cardstock. Oy! It does have to turn.
I do one sheet at a time.

I will try the envelope setting!

Thanks people!!
