Our office recently purchased a printer for the sole purpose of printing flyers and printing postcards on heavy cardstock (100-110lb cardstock). The printer kept on jamming because of the weight of the cardstock. Can anyone recommend a printer that will be able to print on this type of cardstock?

http://www.freecolorprinters.com

I beleive they offer at least 2 that will work for you. There deal is that they will give you a printer if you use enough ink. Dont know if their deal is as good as it was 3-4 years ago....
hopefully, others will offer their experience...

We participate in the freecolorprinter.com program. We are into our second contract and are using the Xerox Phaser 8400 and it works great on heavy card stock paper. The other quality that we like is that the system uses a wax ink that does not run when wet. It is great for flyers. The ink is expensive but we have had no problems with the program whatsoever.

Brad,
Assuming freecolorprinters.com still has a minimum monthly ink purchase requirement to get the printer for free.....do you have any ideas what they magic numbers are...as far as pages printed per month in order to qualify for the free printer?

I believe it is cheaper to BUY the printer from Provantage and the extended (three year, on site) warranty (from Xerox). We buy our ink sticks from Provantage also, http://www.provantage.com.

If you get the printer "free" you have to buy your ink from Xerox at a full retail price and the printer is now so cheap (the basic version is under 1k) that it makes no sense to get it "free" and pay so much for the ink. Buying the ink sticks from Provantage (where I also bought the printer) is less costly than getting the printer free. The 8400dp is the one we have. It has a network card and prints on both sides (full duplex)

Russell,

I would probably agree with you. We will not participate with the program after this contract ends. We will buy our next printer and get the best deal we can on the ink.

The minimum quantity is probably somewhere around 1800 to 2000 sheets per month.
