Hello Leah. Yes, the WF-4830 can print on cardstock. However, the thickest paper we have tested on the machine is Epson Photo paper, which weighs 79 lb. For cardstock, we have tested similar Epson paper that weighs around 44 lb. Please be aware that 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. The printer has automatic 2-sided printing for standard paper types, but thicker cardstock may need to be manually flipped for the second side to be printed. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On three printers, I have tried Avery item 8873, 93#, for business cards, and out of dozens of tries (note the plural of "dozens") I got two sheets to work. The problem does not seem to be the thickness, but instead the feed roller that grabs the paper from the tray and moves it up to the print area does not have sufficient stiction. Even though the user manual simply mentions "card stock," it does not mention what weight it will allow. Support over the phone says the printer goes only to 68, but in the printing industry, that's not much. In the marketing information I was presented when I bought it. Epson stressed "card stock," and I see now they left out the weight.
