The paper will take the ink, it just depends on your printer, since the cardstock is a little thicker and a little more stiff. I hva e sent it through mine with no problems.
Naturally since I'm not totally a SU gal, I'm not sure if this is a SU paper or not but if it has a shimmery type surface like the really heavy copper paper, then the answer is no. I have tried to use my inkjet on this type of paper and it prints on it but it ends up really light. You have to take the time to let it dry as well. That's the experience I've had with shimmery paper that I have purchased at Paper Zone.

True...it will smear. I've learned the hard way that I had to send mine through a copier (the heat sets the ink). I made 150 wedding invitations on the stuff...the copier is the way to go!

I just did a sample and the SU shimmery white fed through the printer fine and the ink set up. Being an ink jet, I know any water will smear the ink but it did dry on the shimmery paper!
Pictures printed on shimmery white are *gorgeous*!!! I have an HP psc1350, and have had no difficulties, so long as I cut it down to a 1/2 sheet. Any larger, and it gets stuck.
queen bee... You'll have to try it on your own printer. Different manufacturers make different kinds of ink. Even with the same manufacturer -- there is a huge difference in quality between my old Epson and my new Epson. The earlier version had water soluble ink -- VERY soluble. I think that if I looked at it a little bit cross-eyed the ink would run. Wouldn't dry on glossy at all. Newer printer must have an ink that is more solvent based.
Give it a try with just a few lines of printing first. Then you will not have ruined an entire sheet if it doesn't "take".

O' Jenn, I could HUG you. I tried feeding sheets in my HP printer and it kept getting stuck. I didn't think to cut it down. Sometimes we just need those little angels who figure things out for us
