Business Card Stock

I have a HP C5180 printer. Can I print business cards with standard business card stock with it?

Nov 30, 2007 by Melissa L | Posted in Printers

Can I put standard business card stock in this printer to print business cards with it? Or is the paper too heavy/thick for the printer to handle? Need to know ASAP, have a friend who needs some cards made...thanks!

Standard business card stock, is 85# cover.
Check if printer has a choice in the properties, that can tell it to use heavy stock, and at that 85# cover is still heavier that most card stock like 67# vellum.
