SU Card Stock and Printer Jams

[Meema]

Does anyone have trouble with SU cardstock jamming their printer? Mine does:mad: I have a HP printer, the 1300 series, which I suppose is NOW obsolete!!! I have tried telling the printer I am using different paper, like photo paper since that is a little thicker, and it still jams. Any ideas here? To remedy this I have used cheaper white cs using RGB color codes etc. Just wanted to be able to print on SU cs. Thank you very kindly for any help (or support).

Are you feeding the paper one sheet at a time? That is suggested for thicker papers with my printer. Hope it helps.

Meena,
I have run heavier cardstock and ledger stock through mine. I have the HP 5610 all-in-one. It may be your printer. Are you hand feeding one piece of CS at a time? Sometimes that will help. Do you have an adjustment slide on the front that says single sheet? I can't remeber what the HP 1300 looks like?

Some printers also have a place on the back of the printer to feed thick cardstock through. It sends the paper through straight, rather than having to turn around a drum inside the printer.

I feed mine through one at a time and I open up the back so I can feed it through the front and it goes straight out the back rather than rolling around.

I have never had a problem with my Epson (have owned three different models), which loads the paper from the top, but the front-loading HP at the office almost always jammed at least once during the print job whenever we tried to feed anything heavier than regular copy paper through it. It was a real pain, too, because we printed our project proposals in-house and someone always had to babysit the printer to make sure the covers didn't get stuck. They finally ditched the thing and got an Epson.
