Thank you! Yes, they totally do. The Canon Pixma Pro absolutely does. Wow Children's books sounds super exciting! I definitely think these could work for that! Good luck with the project! Keep me posted on what you end up doing!
Can the Pixma Pro-200 print on matte 4x6 Postcards, 5 x 7.25 birthday cards, Standard Letter 8.5 x 11, and #10 envelopes(4.13 in x 9.5 in)? Also, how many cards and sheets of paper can it hold at a time? Would the Pixma Pro-200 be considered a commercial printer? Thank you for making this video.
Hey Felicia! The Pixma Pro 200 can absolutely do all those sizes! I love printing cards on my Pro 100. So I think it's definitely doable. as for the amounts, the Canon Pixma Pro-200 has a rear tray that can hold up to 100 sheets of plain paper or 20 sheets of photo paper, depending on the paper type. It also has a manual feed slot for thicker media and specialty paper, allowing for one sheet at a time. So it really depends on how thick the paper you are using is :) hopefully that answers your question, but let me know if not!
The holy grail Q. Is there an inktank printer which handles 300gsm (ideally a bit more) card? i.e. not just on the spec sheet but one which actually works without issues like the rollers embedding into the card leaving behind indented lines. Failing that. Is there a printer which uses cartridges which is actually affordable? (Affordable as in, per print cost, not the cost of the printer). I'm going around in circles trying to find such a printer…
Hi Tony! All great questions. Like I said, the pro-100 or 200 are my recommendations for that. I haven't had those issues with that printer. :) I also link to knockoff ink cartridges you can get for that printer in my other video. If you check it out you'll see it's much cheaper! You can get it on amazon or a few other places that I list in my video. It is "the best cardstock printers for 2024". I hope that helps you!!!
@ Thank you. I had been looking at the Pro 200 but when i saw how expensive the ink was for tiny amounts, somewhere around 12ml to 15ml per cartridge, which is about 1/5 to 1/4 the amount of ink in tank based printers. And anecdotes of needing to spend vast sums for more ink shortly after buying the printer, I found that off-putting. I'll take a look at compatibles, thanks. Although i was leaning more towards the Pro 300 because I want to print more on matte card (i.e. pigment ink), but even when spending more for that printer the ink still comes in tiny 15ml cartridges! It's borderline criminal.
Hi Barbara! In this case, I am talking specifically about the weight of the paper itself. So if you've ever wanted thick invitations, for example, these printers would be good for you. All these printers do multiple sheets at a time :) If you aren't looking to print on heavy paper then any other printer would work for you :) let me know if I didn't answer your question :)
Hi Katie! I always use invitation paper to print out my invitations. So far, my favorite invitation paper isn't super heavy cardstock though. Here is a blog that you can check out that talks about some of my favorite invitation paper. atouchofla.com/the-best-cardstock-paper-for-invitations/ So to answer your question, I don't cut the paper. :) Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi! I need to print digital art on 11x17 80lb cover gloss paper! Do you have a recommendation for that? ; ; I had got my hands on the ET-15000 and it does NOT have a setting for this type of paper or cardstock, so I regret it.
Great video!! Thank you!!
Thank you!!!!
I would like to print on a 250-300gsm watercolor paper. Will it work just as cardstock?
Hi there! yes, watercolor paper would work great as long as the printer can take the weight of that particular paper :) Let me know how it goes!
Great video one question do these printers also print on glossy cardstock or photo paper.i am trying to print my own children book
Thank you! Yes, they totally do. The Canon Pixma Pro absolutely does. Wow Children's books sounds super exciting! I definitely think these could work for that! Good luck with the project! Keep me posted on what you end up doing!
@atouchofla thanks for your time and kind words I wish you a happy and prosperous new year 🎊
@@yourdailybread8611 Happy new year to you as well!!
Any inkjet printer that has adjustable platen gap is best for heavy cardstock.
great tip! thanks!

@@tonyhawk123I agree -cartridges are just not feasible
When you say printing on heavy card stock, does that include feeding multiple sheets OR hand feeding one sheet at a time?

Do you cut your cardstock to your invitation’s finish size (5x7 or 4x6) before printing? What paper cutter do you use?

I could just get the printer you use for 80lb cardstock prints, but im scared of cmyk D:
