"Be aware - Cnet review is wrong"
Pros: Got a good rating from Cnet and most other users.
Cons: I could not find this printer on the shelf at any local stores and purchased it solely based on the review(s) from Cnet. However, once I opened the box I realized that the printer did not have a manual/straight pass feed option. But, if you look at the

I am also a heavy printer of cardstock. Could anyone recommend a good color laser printer for cardstock?

I'm not sure if the reviewer who says he cannot print cardstock has read his user's manual or the inside of the printer tray, but all I know is that the C510N I have DOES print cardstock.

I've had this machine for a year now and haven't had a single jam. My volume isn't high (7k Year). The opinion stated he bought the machine primarily for printing on card stock. Point 1: The machine is not made or sold as a card stock printer, even expensive >$10,000.00 Color Laser Copiers aren't even rated to perform more than 10%-20% card stock. Point 2: Having been a tech support person for color laser copiers/printers, I learned that often the paper stock weight is confused and purchased in a different scale such as "Cover" or "Bristol" as opposed to "Index". Example: 100# Cover is equivalent to 150# Index and 111# Bristol is equivalent to 130# Index. It is also important to use high quality paper if you don't like jams. The path in this machine is straight enough for 110# index to pass with no problems and if there is extensive curl in the paper it needs to be loaded curl side up.

Cnet review says it has a "straight path" for card stock. I think that means you can open up the back jam cover, so the paper feeds straight through. I can do this with my cheap, Samsung B/W printer. I don't think it means there's a manual feed option. Too bad. Lowers the value of this printer tremendously.
