I posted this to my model-specific forum, but thought I would just ask a general question... What's the heaviest weight stock you've managed to get through a KIP successfully?

Most are rated to 24lb Bond maximum, but I see 40lb Bond 'poster paper' listed. I was thinking you could push that, or a bit thicker, if you went straight through the printer from the manual feed to the back paper exit...

Well, I've learned a LOT more about paper weight/thickness/grading than I had ever known before... But the powers that be have settled on a 12 point card stock. We'll see how this experiment goes.
