A:AnswerI have not printed on cards. The printer user manual describes only printing on paper. I suspect that this printer is not designed to accept card stock. For a definitive answer, I recommend that you contact HP directly. I tried to get an answer through HP support - I was unsuccessful - not easy to get quick support for your question - like a chat.
A:AnswerMy printer research (internet writings by supposed printer technically savvy people) found that laser printers are generally less expensive to support - i.e., laser printer toner v.s. ink jet printer ink cartridges. Also, ink jet cartridges can quickly dry out making them unusable. Toner can cake but can be shaken in order to print.
A:AnswerI bought the smallest size HP Laser Printer. I've used it to print out a legal document and it worked great. I checked the sales prices online at Sams Club, Best Buy and Walmart before purchasing at Best Buy. A black printer laser cartridge was included in the purchase price.
A:AnswerNo. HP does not make printers or toner with MICR capabilities. You might check to see if it is actually required by your bank. You can also use pre printed checks and won't need MICR. If you need MICR toner HP recommends Troy Group. Here is a link: https://www.troygroup.com/
