    i wouldnt bother with it eather eddie… though it does print to various papers etc no problem at all.. we have just run a full roll of paper through our machine printing calendars for our customers.
    we custom made some for bigger customers.. had pictures of their own signs on it along with their own logo etc also our own of course… 😉

    If you wont to do business cards get yourself a Xerox Docucolour 12, these things have been around for ages but they are built like tanks, you should be able to find one for around a few grand, we bought ours new but we recovered the cost in just a few months. It is the only copier/printer that can take upto 350gsm card happily as it has a straight paper path and heats upto enough temperature to let the toner stick to the card properly, this also means that it can print on to any paper and not just stuff made especially for copiers. On these machines it costs less then £2.00 for 500 business cards, and that includes the paper (just buy the paper in from you local Litho printer) What ever you go for make sure that you do not fall for the service pack (8p per SRA3) it actually works out to less then 3p for heavy coverage if you buy your own consumables.
