Printer suitable for card

Options
Hi

My old-ish Epson has always struggled printing heavier card, no it refuses altogether and I'm looking for a new printer.

Has anyone any recommendations for printers that will take up too 300 gsm card. Preferably under £70.

Many thanks
AA

  • I recently bought a Canon TS5051 in white from John Lewis at about £70. I'm happy with it as it has printed on 350 GSM. It has a small footprint but needs room at the rear for the feed tray, only rear feed, no tray. A bit of a pain to install and I haven't manage to scan with it yet. Can't find the time to phone Canon yet but the print quality is good.
    Hope this helps.

    You need something with a rear feed option, as a 300gsm board is far too bulky and rigid to go through the 180 degree turn required by a conventional front feeder. Generally with these you have to feed the sheets individually.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
