Printer capable of 160GSM+ card

Options
Hi all, as stated in the title.

Any recommendations of printers capable of printing on 160gsm and higher card?

I currently have an Epson XP345 (and without trying) I've read that it will only print on up to 90GSM paper.

Thanks

Dave

    Thinks: wonder what we get if we Google for "epson xp 345 maximum paper weight"?

    Good heavens!

    "For genuine EPSON paper and media the maximum weight is 300 g/m2 (Ultra Glossy Photo Paper = 300 g/m2).

    Between 64 - 90 g/m² non genuine EPSON paper (plain bond paper).

    For genuine EPSON paper and media the maximum weight is 255 g/m2 (Premium Glossy Photo Paper = 255 g/m2)."

    I would take the words "genuine Epson paper" with a pinch of salt, but remember that you will want to choose the straightest-possible paper path, however that works...
  • Surely cheaper, faster and better quality to get them printed at Asda?

    Pretty much any printer with a straight paper path will handle it.

    Try your printer first before spending any money.

    Our local Asda has stopped doing photo printing now but i am sure if i searched someone else must do it.
