110# if you want reliable printing. It can go up to 120# (I haven’t tried 130# yet) but you will have to manually guide each page in the rear feed. (although it can randomly automatically feed 120# paper, but that’s about 1 in 50 times. So just be prepared to stand there while your entire print job finishes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello glee. The heaviest paper we've tested with this machine is Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy, which weighs 79 lb. For cardstock, we've used similar Epson paper weighing approximately 44 lb. Please note that these recommendations apply to Epson paper only. You may try cardstock within this weight range from other brands, but results may vary, especially with heavier or non-Epson paper. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team
