Thanks for the suggestions and pointers. Unfortunately I couldn't get
the clueless vendor to tell me the weight of the card stock, so I just
wrote "thick". (I suppose I could weigh a ream of it on the cat
scale.) I've had trouble even finding paper-handling specs for some of
the currently available printers. Therefore my plan is to gather
suggestions and then go try a particular printer with the actual card
stock we use before buying.
