A:Answerit prints beautifully on card stock. About the sound i do not know whether there is a quiet mode, but i find the printer to be very quiet when it prints.
A:AnswerIf the paper is size A5, B5, LTR and A4 you can use heavier paper on the back feeder (I haven't tried using the bottom tray). Fabric will jam up in the printer feeder so stay away from that type of material. I do have several reams of 100% cotton paper and it feeds just like normal paper.
