Printing photos on card stock

I can't get my photos to print in the proper location on the 9x6.25 card stock. It keeps printing in the middle. The card stock is scored to fold so the photo needs to be in the upper half of the stock.

Hello Rpatc.
Please try using the crop option in your software to see if cropping the image to your 9x6 size will help.
If you continue to have difficulties, please tell us if you are able to print standard 4x6, 5x7 or 8.5x11 sized images without any issues.

Photos on card stock print with a single grainy band.

I'm using a HP Officejet 6310 printer. The card stock has a matte finish. Even after I set the print quality to maximum DPI and print, the band is still visible. There are lighter bands on the photo image as well. The problem doesn't occur when I print on plain copy paper.

Print in best mode, and use either premium inkjet paper, or brochure media, matte. The key is that you are not printed on a coated media, but simply paper pulp. Also, your media is whiter than regular plain paper, so you want to use either of the two aforementioned, as the colors they put down are assuming good bright paper.
Hope that takes care of you!

Print quality on card stock

I have a batch of Georgia-Pacific white card stock, 110 lb. weight. My printer is an HP Photosmart D5460. What is the best print setting to maximize the quality of color photos printed with this printer on this medium? Thanks for any suggestions anybody has.

How do I set up to print on business card stock that is precut

My Printer is an HP Officejet 6500A Plus, compuer is a Dell model P10f, Windows 7 Home Premium are the systems and hardware that I have. I am trying to create business cards in the software on the HP Officejet 6500A plus. I have created the business card but am unable to locate a way to print on the business card stock that comes in packages is already perforated in business card style. Where can I set this up on the printer software?

In order to AirPrint from your iPad/iPhone, here's all you need to do:
1. Make sure the printer and iPad/iPhone are connected to the same local network.
2. Open something you want to print (on the iPad/iPhone).
3. On the iPad/iPhone, tap the "Action" button (arrow curving out of a box).
4. Tap "Print".
The steps below typically resolve the issue you’re experiencing:
1. Power off the printer.
2. Completely power off the iOS devices (hold the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until a message appears asking you to "Slide to power off". Slide across that bar, and it should completely power off).
3. Power the printer back on.
4. Power the iOS devices back on.
5. Try to print again.
Those steps usually resolve the issue. If they do not, try this additional steps:
6. Power cycle your router (usually done by unplugging the router’s power cord, waiting 20 seconds, and plugging it back in).
7. Make sure that the iOS devices and the printer are all connected to the same network, then try to print.

Photosmart 5514 prints blank on card stock

I only get a blank page when I try to print on card stock. It feeds the card and sounds like it's printing but then comes out blank. I've changed the print settings to 5.5" x 8" and to 'matte greeting card'. It prints fine on regular paper but when I try the same thing with a card it comes out blank. I have just changed all the print cartridges. I have tried printing from PowerPoint, from my mail, and from a jpeg file; and all work on regular paper but come out blank on the cards. Any suggestions? I should also mention that I'm using a MacBook Pro computer with OSX 10.7.5 and connected to my printer wirelessly through my home wi-fi network.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that you cannot print on card stock with your HP Photosmart 5514 on Mac OS X 10.7, and I am happy to look into this for you! According to your printer's specifications, this is an unsupported paper size for card stock paper. The supported sizes are as follows: Card typeCard size3 x 5 in Index76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)4 x 6 in Index101.6 x 152 mm (4 x 6 in)5 x 8 in Index127 x 203.2 mm (5 x 8 in) You might be able to try a custom size print, and you could try this guide, Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart 5510 e-All-in-One Printer Series. But if it is printing on regular paper, then it must something wrong with the card stock paper that you are using. Perhaps, also try taking out the paper and re-loading it might help, and maybe try flipping the paper upside down, in case the wrong side up is being loaded. Otherwise, I would suggest to try one of the supported card sizes that I mentioned in the chart above. Hope this information helps! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

OfficeJet Pro 8000 no borderless printing on card stock via Windows driver

I just setup the OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless printer the other day with the intent to print borderless cards on card stock. I can print anything to it without issue however if I attempt to use borderless mode the Windows driver does NOT allow any paper type other than photo or glossy borchure types.
If I print anyway on card stock it looks ink soaked and muddy. If I print on their recommeded types it looks fine but a card needs heavy card stock, not med or light paper weights.
If I do not select borderless, the print (on card stock) has a dredded border but the print quality is fine.
The driver will not allow even a "normal" or "draft" borderless on standard paper types. Is there a hack or modification to allow me to print borderless on any paper?

Help printer settings Canon MG6250 - 300gram matte greeting card stock

Hi, we have just bought this printer after recommendations but we can't get the printing to work? All our greeting cards comes out fuzzy? We print from photoshop at the moment. We are not using canon paper, we are using good quality 300gram paper which works excellent in our epson? Any suggestions?

Hi Antonia,
I'm actually interested in the specs for the Cannon iX7000. I need something that will print on metalic card stock up to 300 gsm...and I was wondering why you wanted to replace it if it works? Do you print on metalic cardstock at all? How is the drying time for metalic cardstock, if you do print on it?
Currently, I have a Dell 7130 cdn laser printer ($2,200) and it works great BUT I find that over a few months I am having to replace parts. The fuser seems to go out due to printing on my metalic 285 gsm cardstock. The printer's specs actually are only for 280 gsm but the paper goes through without any problems.
Any suggestions and feedback about the Cannon iX700 would be greatly appreciated
Good luck to you!
Jennifer

Horizontal lines appear on photo printed on card stock; don't appear on photos printed on paper or other card stock.
What's the difference between the first card stock and the other card stock? What's the finish on the problem card stock? What printer are you using? Does is have a physical adjustment for different stock thicknesses?

How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on Card stock?

How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on card stock. It pushes the card stock through the printer but will not print and tells me I have not selected the right print media. There is no selection for card stock. I have tried every selection. I assume there are other media definitions that can be downloaded but they certainly are not apparent. I have been doing this job on all my other HP printers for years. Suddenly this printer balks.

Hi,
Page #22 of the manual says (must be the same as photo paper ?):
To load cards and photo paper
1. Lift the output tray.
2. Slide the paper width guide out as far as possible.
3. Insert the media print-side down along the right of the main tray. Make sure the media aligns with the right and back edges of the tray and does not exceed the line marking in the tray. If the photo paper has a tab along one edge, make sure the tab is pointing towards the front of the printer.
4. Slide the media guides in the tray to adjust them for the media size that you have loaded.
5. Lower the output tray.
6. Pull out the tray extender.
And the manual is : h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02519721.pdf

C4450 card stock (avery 8371 business card stock) margin printing problems

printing to plain paper works fine every time
printing to cardstock starts printing on the top edge (no margin)
if i peel the top margin perferation then it prints somewhere else on the page
did i just buy a printer that cant do cardstock? if not then how do you fix it.
this is a hardware problem (brand new printer) not a software problem - does the same thing for every software pac that i use
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I tried printing using a matte photo paper, but it didn't work. My HP C4280 still prints without a left margin on Avery business card stock.
This IS a bug. It has to be. Why on earth would anyone build a printer by design that prints without the margin just because a different paper is used? If I print with plain paper, it prints just fine. But when I put in Avery paper, no good.
What is the point to this? So that Avery makes more money from customers who waste business card paper? So that HP makes more money from customers who waste ink? I am not happy. This should NOT be happening.
HP, fix this problem now.

Officejet pro 8600 will not print card stock

I just purchased the Officejet Pro 8600 and cannot print card stock. I read another HP troubleshooting page and tried to run 100 copies of blank paper through to "calibrate" the printer as suggested by HP technical support.

How do I set up my HP 7520 to print card stock off Avery 8859 design???

Trying to print business cards after designing on Avery 8859 card stock design. HP 7520 All in one will only print a test page of thumbnails of the business cards even though it shows the correct size, etc. for the 8859 paper.
How do I set the printer for card stock, etc. as Avery describes, and what is going wrong?? I have wasted many hours, and lots of paper, and still NO BUSINESS CARDS!!!

Hi @klmrazek,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are wondering how to set up your HP 7520 to print card stock off Avery 8859 design? I am sorry for the frustration, but happy to look into this for you!
From what I can find, the card size you are using is 2" x 3 1/2". This is an unsupported paper size with this particular printer. According to your printer specifications, here are the supported card stock sizes:
Card type
Card size
3 x 5 in Index
76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)
4 x 6 in Index
101.6 x 152 mm (4 x 6 in)
5 x 8 in Index
127 x 203.2 mm (5 x 8 in)
However, you might be able to get around this by assigning an alternate driver, by going through this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R. Then try a custom size print by going through this guide, Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
Otherwise, I would suggest a different size of paper, within your supported sizes using the chart provided. Or you can also try contacting Avery Support, in case they may have additional software or drivers that you can try.
Hope this information is helpful, and have a good day!
