Hello everyone! Does anybody know what printer is better for 350 gsm cardstock printing (super heavy cardstock for postcards making)? I have some specifications about printers. Is there any of these printers good for 350 gsm postcards printing. I need it for home, not for office.
1) Canon PIXMA PRO-200
4)Epson SureColor P700 | P900
Can print on media up to 1.5 mm thick
5)Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-format Printer
6)Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000
You can use paper in the following weight/thickness ranges.
* Do not use paper heavier or thicker than this, as it could jam in the printer.
top feed
Plain paper: From 17 to 28 lb (64 to 105 g /m2)
Specialty paper: Up to 80 lb (300 g /m2) / from 4 to 11.8 mil (0.1 to 0.3 mm)
manual feed tray
Specialty paper: Up to 107 lb (400 g /m2) / from 4 to 27.6 mil (0.1 to 0.7 mm)

The specs you provide all say they handle up to 380 gsm card stock. Looking at the photos, though, I'd reject the TS9520 because it turns the paper completely over. That's a lot of bending to try with a heavy cardstock. Better to have a more straight-through paper path.

Also look at the paper size that the designated feed can accept.
The manual feed tray for the Pro-300 (which can accept the heavy stock) has a minimum page size of 8x10. Won't meet OP's need for postcard printing.
