Tips for Feeding Heavy Inkjet Paper

Customers like heavy / thick inkjet papers. That's why we offer such a wide selection of heavy card stock in glossy, matte, semigloss, and watercolor. Unfortunately, many newer inkjet printers seem to have unexplainably weak feed mechanisms (in light of heavier paper offerings from those printer manufacturers).

We have put together a small tutorial that might help you get more consistent feed from your printer (especially Epson printers).

Wide Format Greeting Cards (Epson 4000/4800 Canon iPF5000)

These 17" wide format inkjet printers cannot use sheets smaller than 8x10. As such, they cannot take advantage of Red River's great selection of pre-scored note card papers. Until now.

We offer a selection of our photo inkjet papers in 8.5x11 sheets that are pre-scored. You can now print cards that fold to 5.5" x 8.5" or print two per sheet for a finished 4.25" x 5.5" card.

A basic Photoshop template for the two-up card layout is available for download at our main site. Details in the link below:
