cardstock

Hi all! I run a small stationery business from my home. I exclusively use 120 lb. Smooth Digital i-Tone cardstock from Mohawk. Somehow I managed for 3+ years to operate at a substantial volume (~4,000 prints per month) using an HP m553n (Don't laugh! :) I went through two of these and a number...

I'll preface this post by saying I am not a pressman, just a trading card collector trying to find some answers that have a misprint community stumped. This might end up being an issue with the cardstock but as far as I know these cards are made with a Heidelberg press, so perhaps someone has...

Hello, I'm planning to print 5000-8500 monthly flyers/postcards in Letter/A4 format (or slightly smaller to look different) to be distributed via USPS EDDM*. Printing on both sides. The paper will needs to be thicker than normal copy/print paper, hence, I'm hoping to receive recommendations...

Hi everybody, I am very new to this topic and really hope to get some input from this forum. I need a machine that can print on cardstock. My requirement is 250-300GSM - ideal material size would be 11" x 17". I will be printing black vector lines and numbers. So this is for building cardstock...

My husband and I are thinking about starting a small business as a side income source. It would be just postcard printing, POD (print on demand) style, online store only (at least for now). I'm a photographer, so the kind of postcards would be cityscapes, street scenes, landscapes, etc. That...

Hello, I design stationery (greeting cards, note cards, etc.) on the side. I currently have a small crappy Samsung color laser printer, and I'd like to upgrade. The Samsung jams a lot and curls cardstock badly. I'd like to start printing my notecards at home so I can have more control over...

I'm trying to figure out a simpler way to get this end result — 4x6 postcards with a crack and peel adhesive back. Does anyone know if anyone manufactures these types of sheets already? Currently, I'm able to get the end result through a multiple step process, but if there was a company that...

Hello all, We just go the new C1+ and excitedly tested it out. Unforunately when we printed a paper with a 178 GSM (From Tray and a Paperdeck) it printed at the snail rate of 2 ppm! Is this normal? Our tech guys seem to think this is right which I can't believe! That is slower then my...

We just bought a Phaser 7760 and are trying to figure out what's the heaviest and best stock to run on it for greeting cards. Seems that most stock comes in 80# Cover (216gsm) or 100# Cover (270-280gsm) but the max capacity for this machine is 255gsm. Does anyone run 100# Cover or anything...

Would a solid ink printer be a better choice for printing heavy card stock and postcard weight paper than a color laser printer?

I have some thousands of 4x6 postcards printed 4:0 on heavy 16pt stock and uv coated on the front. ' The back has not been uv coated but it's still coated stock so inkjet ink seems to not set well at all on it - smears even an hour after printed. I would like to find a not-too-expensive...
