Many card stock covers are intended for printing, but the printer must support the stock weight, sheet size, and feed path. Use the printer’s heavy paper or card setting when specified by the manufacturer, and consider the bypass or straight feed tray if the normal path bends the stock sharply. Print one cover first to confirm toner adhesion, colour contrast, registration, and curl. Peach stock may change the appearance of pale graphics, so dark text and strong artwork usually remain clearer. Allow printed sheets to cool and settle before punching. If the printer struggles, print the title on an interior sheet and use a windowed cover instead of forcing heavy stock through unsuitable equipment.
