The xante illumina and possibly the oki printers the xante is based on are known for their heavy stock handling.

Imagepress C1 can only handle up to 256 GSM. Beyond this specification like 300 gsm will damage the fixing roller. I wouldnt do that if I were You.

Billy, have you experienced this damage yourself? Anyone run 300gsm with or without problems? I've been hoping to run some jobs with cardstock that heavy. The C1 certainly handles 12pt well.

You can only notice the damage when you print a 12x18 in or 13x19. At about 2 in from the end side, about 1 to 2 mm thick lines start appearing and the uneven gloss will start to show.
