Trya shorter search, for example instead of searching for "Pixma MG5350" try searching for "5350". Please note that all currently supported printers are in the list. If you are unable to find your printer then there are no PVC card trays currently made for it.
Printing on Teslin is just like printing on normal paper. The magic comes when you laminate the Teslin paper, that's when it's synthetic properties are awakened by forming a solid bond with the laminate without requiring any edge. (And don't worry, we have kits that include a laminator if you need one.)
The first thing that's important to keep in mind is that there are only trays for two brands of inkjet printers: Canon and Epson. Trays can't be made for laser printers, nor for any other brand of inkjet printer that we have come across.
The printers that we are able to make a tray for support printing on inkjet printable CDs/DVDs/BluRay discs. These printers come with a tray that you place the disc in, then that tray feeds through the printer to print on the surface of the disc.
As of April 2024 there are only a handful of printer models still being made that will work with our trays. We've broken them down below by which one of our trays should be used with each printer.
There are a number of reasons why this may be the case. Like the Epson ET/XP printers mentioned above, some printers have software problems that make it impossible to print on the full surface of a card - in which case a card tray wouldn't be very useful.
The other problem that comes up from time to time is that a printer will be released with a tray that is ONLY used with that single model/series of printers. In this case, it's typically not worth it for us to make a tray because sales of it would be so low. An example of this is the Canon IP8700 series - this series uses an "H" tray, but this tray is not used with any other printers. This is not a terribly popular printer series, so it never made sense to invest in making a tray for it.

Card stock is often a problem due to thickness and stiffness. It isn't clear from the online manual whether your printer has a paper tray underneath in addition to the rear feed tray, but use the rear feed tray, which is close to a straight path. You might need to feed one sheet at a time. Make sure the sheet doesn't have any curl.
It looks like the printer may adjust itself to the paper thickness, as well as the surface finish. The paper type is specified on the control panel, but it looks like everything is referenced to Epson's own papers. If your card stock is photo quality, with a shiny surface, I would select one of the photo papers, probably "glossy". If it isn't shiny, they use the "matte" setting for their own matte heavy weight paper.
Note, though, the the printer specs state a maximum of 90 gr paper. I suspect their own photo paper is heavier than that, but you're trying card stock that is 2 1/2 times the maximum thickness, so it might not be usable with your printer. Here is a link to the online manual.
Just an aside, inkjet printing is not a great approach to business cards. Even archival inks and paper don't hold up well to handling, the environment, or getting wet. If your recipients don't treat them well, the cards' appearance won't reflect well on you. It's pretty cheap to have cards commercially printed, and they will retain a professional look much better.
The 10 PVC card tray for Epson is a specialized accessory designed for use with certain Epson inkjet printers. This product category encompasses a variety of trays that enable the printing on PVC cards, commonly used for identification, access control, and other personalized card applications.
Different models of PVC card trays are tailored to fit various Epson printer models. It's crucial to match the tray with the specific printer model to ensure proper alignment and functionality. These trays are engineered to hold standard-sized PVC cards for seamless printing.
The primary use of a PVC card tray is to facilitate the printing on PVC cards. These cards are widely used in creating employee IDs, student identification, membership cards, and promotional badges. The tray allows for direct printing onto the card, providing a convenient solution for small to medium-sized batch printing.
Constructed from durable materials, the card tray for Epson printer is designed to withstand the rigors of regular use. The trays typically feature a form-fitting design that securely holds the cards in place during the printing process, ensuring precise and consistent results.
Utilizing a 10 PVC card tray offers several advantages, including improved print quality and alignment. It also streamlines the printing process, allowing for the efficient production of professional-looking cards without the need for external printing services.
When selecting a PVC card printing tray, buyers should consider the tray's compatibility with their printer model, the material quality, and the tray's capacity. It's important to choose a tray that aligns with the specific requirements of the intended printing tasks.
With so many inkjet printers available, your choices for the best greeting card printer are better than ever. But, for the serious amateur or pro photographer with print production in mind, the field of good printers narrows considerably. From our experience, a number of key factors come together to make reliable, high quality greeting card printers. Most manufacturers have at least one printer that fits the bill for the best printer for card making. The printers in this article have been selected based on hours of printing experience in the Red River Paper print labs.
The replacement to the top selling Canon PRO-100, the PRO-200 is another "hot rod of greeting card printers". Great color reproduction, robust paper transport mechanism, and compatibility with all Red River inkjet papers make these printers good for greeting card production. An excellent choice if you want to expand into larger print sizes. All Red River Paper greeting and note cards are compatible with the Canon Pixma PRO-200.
A MegaTank printer with excellent photo quality! Many tank printers (they use large ink reservoirs instead of ink cartridges) are best suited for office and basic photo printing. However, the G620 performs so well for photos and artwork that it makes our list. The big news is that the cost of printing is much lower than cartridge printers which makes the G620 a great option for those in search of the best printer for printing greeting cards at home.
This is the first inkjet printer specifically designed to print borderless 7x10 (folds to 5x7) greeting cards! It features four dye-based photo inks and one pigment black for document printing. It can also prints 12x12 sheets without borders. Red River Paper Supports all TS Models with Printer Color Profiles.
Epson printers rarely make it on this list. The reason is paper feed capability. Everything about Epson's except paper feed is usually great. If you're trying to a printer for greeting cards, they can be trouble. The Epson ET-8500 and ET-8550 are exceptions. We find the paper feed system to be better than usual. They are not Canon level quality, but they are acceptable. If you are an "Epson person", here's your chance to buy your favorite brand for greeting and note card projects.
Most EcoTank printers are best suited for office work and are difficult to color manage. Not the ET-8500 and ET-8550! Epson took the stellar Claria dye ink system and converted it to the EcoTank format. This means excellent print quality and low printing cost. Red River Paper supports these printers with ICC color profiles as well.
HP makes fine photo printers but the paper feed system does not support cardstock paper or any paper over 11 mil thickness which is crucial for any photo card printer. Additionally, HP has removed the custom paper size feature from the Windows driver. This locks Windows users from popular greeting card sizes. If you have an HP and have successfully printed on Red River Paper greeting cards, we would love to hear from you via our Support Center.
Paper feed, print speed, and print quality are all top considerations when picking a printer for cards. Always pick printer with a top loading paper tray. Do not choose a printer that only loads from a front paper cassette. It won't work for card stock.
A popular question is "How much will it cost to print my cards?". After extensive printing and calculations on ink usage, Red River Paper produced a Cost Per Card Chart. The great news is that paper, ink, and envelope cost less than $1.00 for most papers.
Printing inkjet greeting cards is a big part of what makes inkjet printers especially useful. Red River Paper feels that photographers and artists should create a line of cards from their work. At minimum they are powerful marketing pieces. They can often be sold for $5 each at art fairs or festivals.
