So glad it helped you Patricia!! :):)

Of course!! Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks Girl! You are so sweet. Thank you for subscribing and for your comments :) I appreciate it soooo much!!!

@@atouchofla you deserve it so much 😊😊

Hi Susan - OMG I am so happy to hear that! Don't worry, I did plenty of the cussing myself! LOL. So glad it was helpful! xoxoox

I was so close to getting an epson ecotank but I need to print on heavy cardstock paper...I'm so glad that I found this video!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)

Thanks for watching Aquarellina. I am so glad it was useful to you!

Of course!!

Hi Ceasr - Thank you so much for your comment and for watching! That's a great question. I honestly don't know if currently there is a photo printer that would print on such heavy cardstock. However, with that said, this printer prints images really well. In fact, when I purchased the printer, it came with luster photo paper that was 11 x 17 and 8 x 10. I print all of my photos for my house on it. So I think it's a great option. In terms of how heavy is the heaviest cardstock...? I believe 130 lb cardstock might be the heaviest, but I am not sure and don't see it regularly. What are you trying to print?

Thanks for all you info. I've been trying to print on wood. I've printed on 1/4in wood with a printer i took apart and rigged it to run the wood thru. With ok results....I was thinking of printing on wood veneer. Then gluing it the veneer to a thicker wood....kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsCfkrujm8WmfqM.html these are some of the prints I've made....I make cigarbox guitars....I've been looking for an easier way to print the images on the boxes...

@@ceasrmata3167 That sounds really cool! I also wanted to tell you that someone let me know that the Canon Pixma 200 is actually great for 130 lb cardstock: amzn.to/3u1OIiG :) might be worth a shot!

You're so welcome!

Hi there - oh I am glad it helped you! Yes, I have been getting the knock off kind since I purchased it and it seems to be doing just fine (Knock on wood!). Let me know if you have any other questions :)

Hi Rosetta - Thanks for your comment! I like how you figure things out at the store. That's a great tip! One thing I would recommend is going to the Cannon website and searching for this printer. They have a link to other retailers that often are slightly cheaper than amazon. :)

Oh no I’m sorry! It’s just not a more commonly known thing. I think we’ve all been there! Is that one a nice printer though?

Hi Niles! You are so welcome. The problem really is not with the printer settings, but with the paper itself. I honestly haven't found thick cardstock paper that is able to do this. However, I have this blog here you can read about paper I recommend: atouchofla.com/best-paper-for-vibrant-print-then-cut-cricut-projects/ - It doesn't just work for your Cricut, so just don't pay attention to the name. If you're using the Michaels 110 paper, that is not great quality at all, so I am still on the hunt for a good letter size paper that is heavy cardstock. I know that doesn't help you, but let me know if you find anything good!

@@atouchofla Thank you so much for your insight!

@@nilesbrandon4217 of course!!

Hey there! Hmm. That sounds a little thick for any printer. Have you tried using a cricket cutting machine for something like this instead?

@@atouchofla Thanks for the idea and answering my question. That will definitely be something I consider for cutting the box templates out. I still need to figure out how to print my designs on the boxes.

So glad you found it too and that it was helpful! I have the link to the 200 above. Let me know if it doesn’t work :)

@@atouchofla I most definitely used your link- you saved me some time & frustration from purchasing the wrong printer. Thanks again for the helpful information!

thanks so much@@melissal7984 ! I am SO glad it helped you!!!

Which one do you have

I honestly just take a break for a while and it tends to work again. We all need a break right? haha. Sorry this doesn't help you much. Would love to know which printer you have.

@@lilyeskew3424 I'm curious too!

So glad it was helpful! To answer your question if you are using a Cricut to do writing then it doesn’t matter the weight of the paper because Cricut can write on any type of paper. :) the only time it really matters is when you’re doing a print then cut project so you’ll have to use the printer and then cut it but if you’re just using the writing capability with the cutting machine, then it really really doesn’t matter what weight of paper you use. Does that make sense?

@@atouchofla Thank you so much for answering. I’m so surprised to hear this. I guess I thought the pen may not write well on thicker paper. No one talks about making invites on a cricut only printers so this is great to know. I just got a cricut and want to try some cards and invites with just some simple font writing. I appreciate your time and answering. I also look forward to viewing more of your videos! 👍

@@mcharron4122yes you should experiment on different paper with your machine! You’ll learn a lot! ❤ thanks so much! Let me know what other videos you need 😊 xoxo

Hey there! The rear tray of the Canon PIXMA PRO-100 can hold up to 50 sheets of paper, depending on the thickness of the paper. The printer can use plain paper, including recycled paper, and non-Canon genuine specialty paper up to 53 lb (200 g /m2). Heavier or lighter paper, except for Canon genuine paper, can cause jams. The manual feed tray can use paper from 4 to 23.6 mil (0.1 to 0.6 mm) (up to 93 lb (350 g /m2)), but paper thicker or heavier can cause jams.

Hey Susan! Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I don't think it actually prints two sided. (At least not the 100.) I'm sorry about that! But you can always flip it over and print again ;) I know that doesn't help LOL

I’m not sure what that means? Do you mean double sided? If so I can’t speak for the 200 but the 100 does not.

Hey there! I probably change one of the ink cartridges every few months. It is hard to say because there are so many of them, and it really depends on what you are printing. I used to use my printer a lot more for my business, but I don't use it as much any more for that. I typically use it for home projects and things of that nature. A good example is in December I decided to print out a bunch of 11 x 14 photos with the printer. I did about 5 of them and changed a few of the ink cartridges at the beginning of that project. It is March and I don't think I have changed them since. As mentioned, I recommend this knockoff ink: shrsl.com/3botx (I know they say that it isn't good, but I have been using it since I got this printer! and have had no problems :) I hope that helps!

Hey Laura! Sadly I don't know that :(

Hey girl! I actually just wrote this blog to help with this question. I found a few that go a little bit higher in heaviness: atouchofla.com/the-best-printers-for-heavy-cardstock-paper/ Let me know if you have questions. I haven't gotten around to creating a KZfaq video on it yet though! If you think it would be helpful, let me know :)

You’re welcome! Are you talking about invitations? I have been fine with putting the entire pack of invitations in the tray at one time. So it can load a lot at one time. Hope that answers your question!

@@atouchofla actually postcards. You said it could handle #110

@@anthonyrude yes it can handle 110 pound cardstock. You can place the whole pack in the tray and that should be fine.

Hey there! I’m still using the printer and the ink. :) I have only ever used the knockoff ink because the real stuff is just too pricey! Knock on wood it has never given me issues and is great quality! The cartridges last a good amount of time, although I couldn’t give you an exact timeframe. It probably depends on what you’re printing. I’m always printing photos and things with a lot of ink and I change out my ink once every few months (not even ever color though.)

@@atouchoflathank you for replying fast 😊. I will use the printer mainly to do crafts and stickers for my daughters so I don’t want to buy canon ink since is pricy.

@@nu3salud that’s awesome! Yes it should work for that ;)

Hi Lisa! Thanks for your message! I honestly haven't printed on 12 x 12. However, I would be confident it would be fine with that size. The one thing I would recommend is testing out the paper. The paper itself is really the true test. I have found that even though the 110 cardstock paper from Michaels is good in terms of it's heaviness, it doesn't print on vibrant colors. I would say you should do a test with different types of paper. I have a few blogs about the paper I use for projects, which I will list below. None of them are 12 x 12, but maybe it will give you some idea. I know that isn't super helpful, but it's a lot of trial and error. Make sure to come back and let me know how it goes because I am definitely learning from you! atouchofla.com/the-best-paper-for-digital-party-decorations atouchofla.com/best-paper-for-birthday-invitations

hey Jessica! Honestly I don't know. How many are you printing? And on what kind of paper?

Hey Chris! Good question! I have honestly found that it really comes down to your paper quality. I have a few blogs linked here that might help: atouchofla.com/?s=Best+paper - however it really depends on what you’re trying to create. I honestly haven’t found great heavy cardstock letter sized sheets yet. I’ve mostly found presentation paper that seems to work well, and that’s all linked in those blogs. I hope that helps but let me know if not!

Make sure to buy paper that is made for inkjet printing. Regular paper doesn't have the coatings necessary for ink to work correctly.

Hey there! Unfortunately, I don't know anything about laser printers. BUT I would love to, so if you learn anything I would love to hear back from you once you find out. Maybe laser printers are in my future! Also GOLD FOILING would be amazing! I wish I knew how to do that!

@@atouchofla definitely I just ordered the Minc foil and the foil transfer machine just need the laser printer with tear tray that can take card stock :) I’ll keep you posted :)

@@KassyDee That's so awesome. I need to look into that!

Hey Marlene! What a great question! I had this EXACT same problem. But would you believe me if I told you it was your PAPER and not your printer that was giving you the dull prints? :) I have a blog on this (sorry no youtube video yet) that you can check out here. Unfortunately I don't have suggestions on the heavy cardstock paper for great paper, but this blog should give you an idea of the paper I use for my Cricut projects: atouchofla.com/best-paper-for-vibrant-print-then-cut-cricut-projects/ I hope it helps! Let me know! xo

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about laser printers but I am open to ideas!

Hmm, I am not sure about that. I would need to know the weight of the paper.

Unfortunately, I don't think that will work! It needs to be 300 or less :( You can try! But like I said, it might leave you upset.

Hey! Yes it should. I have never done it myself but it’s max is 13 x 19 :)

Hi Inderjeet - it really depends on the thickness that you want your flyers and business cards to be. If you want them to be on heavy cardstock, then you'll want a printer that will print on heavy paper. As mentioned, I don't know many other inkjet printers that print on this heavy of cardstock. Therefore, the Pro-100 would be my vote!

Hey there- here are a few blogs I wrote that might help with that! atouchofla.com/the-best-cardstock-paper-for-invitations/ atouchofla.com/the-best-paper-to-print-invitations/

I have used glossy photo paper and it worked for me :)

Hi Keni! Unfortunately with this one it only goes to 110 lbs. However, with the 200, you can print 130 lb cardstock paper. You can get that one here: amzn.to/3u1OIiG

@@atouchofla Hi Lindsay, I should have qualified that I am getting the 200, thank you very much for the video and responding to my question.

Oh great! Thanks for watching! 😍

@@atouchofla My pleasure! 🥰

Yes it absolutely will! I have some great waterproof sticker paper that I love which you can find here: atouchofla.com/suggested-products-for-creating-digital-party-decorations/ I hope that helps but let me know if you have more questions ❤️

Same! I actually just thought of a new project to use this for today!! I’m excited

Hey! Unfortunately I haven’t found any HP printers that print on that heavy cardstock. If you do let me know!

Hey girl! Unfortunately I don’t know about that! I’ll have to do some more research! Sorry about that.

That's funny because it's still helping people even 2 years later.

Hey! You can still get it on Amazon here: amzn.to/3Sdb4tB if you’d rather the newer version, I recommend the 200: amzn.to/3tUFJ7e

ya that totally makes sense! Thanks for sharing that! I would love to try some foil printing!! I am going to check that laser printer out for sure!

Looking for this aswell!

@@meejay100 I wish I had experience with a laser. Come back and let us know if you find a good one!

@@atouchofla I have a canon pixma ip8750 and it worked well with 300gsm/ 110lb depending on the paper. So for inket I wil recommend for those without the budget for the canon pro-100 and still want quality print. My next inket printer will definitely be a pro-200. Thank you for this video ❤️.

@@meejay100 thank you so much! This is super helpful! I found that printer on on Amazon: amzn.to/43sMFUU - still a bit pricey but you’re right! Much better! Thank you again!

Sadly I don't! I am so sorry!

Hey there! Yes, that is really a wifi thing. You just make sure you are on the same wifi, and you can print from your phone as well as your computer.

@@atouchofla does it print on cardstock?

@@acesupercollector haha yes that’s the name of the video :)

@@atouchofla ok, smart ass.... Whats the cardstock range?
