A:AnswerHello Tarchitect. The thickest paper the ET-3830 can print on is Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy which weighs 79 lb. For cardstock, we have tested similar Epson paper that weighs around 44 lb. These recommendations are for Epson paper only, you can try a cardstock that falls in that range, but your results can vary when using other brands and heavier paper. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Bear. If the note cards are plain white, weigh between 20 lb (75 g/m2) to 27 lb (100 g/m2), and are 3" x 5" or larger, then they could work. However, Epson has not tested note cards in the printer to confirm compatibility, so please only print at your discretion. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
