Thanks, Jim. I liked the looks of that one, but there was one very critical review and it was given only 3 stars on Amazon review. One which prints on card stock is a must. Will look at it again.

I have not tried to print card stock, but it does print well on premium photo paper which is heavier than most photo paper. I find nothing in the documentation either about card stock and owner reviews give it a 4 out of 5 rating average. I like the 4 ink tanks as well as I tend to use a lot of black and cyan and the other colours seem to run forever. * Jim Hope* On 09/01/2012 10:42 AM, Ridge wrote: > Thanks, Jim.
