Hi, got referred to here from anandtech.com. I am trying to make my own wedding invites and/or ceremony program and later on for my own photo printing. Which inkjet printer can print to card stock paper without curling it? I would prefer Canon over HP for ink affordability, I don't really care whether it can be refilled or not as long as I can buy reliable and quality OEM ink. Some said HP's straight feed is better than Canon. What's your recommendation? Thanks!

Glenn,

Actually, HP printers usually bend the paper 180 degrees. Canon's top feed only bends the paper by about 70 degrees. You might want to take several sheets of your card stock to a local electronics store that has various printers set up for printing tests. Try your paper on various printers to see which give the least curl. I have printed invitations on my Canon i9900 with no curl problems.
