What kind of printer do you use for papercrafting?


Here's a question (well, 2 actually) that I would like to ask all papercrafters:
  1. Which brand and model printer do you use?
  2. Are you able to use thicker* paper / cardstock with that printer?
* Have you only tried regular printer paper (thin 75-80 gsm paper) or are you able to use thicker 120-160 gsm, or 200-220 gsm paper as well without your printer complaining?

Myself, I have an HP Photosmart D7160 (like the one in the picture above);

It's an inkjet printer and I always use 200 gsm paper for making papercrafts. That's 2.5 times as thick as regular printer paper, but it feeds through without problems, and makes my papercrafts very sturdy. ;o)

I hope many papercrafters will share their experiences with printers for papercraft, you can do by leaving a comment below please.

Thank you in advance! ;o)

(and you can stay anonymous if you want to of course; you don't need to have a Blogger account or log in to leave a comment on my papercraft weblog! ;o)

Papercraft Legend of Zelda wolf Link & Midna


I shared a papercraft wolf Link in honour of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess many years ago, and now Otaku Crafts made a new one in honour of the HD re-release! ;o)

"Paper wolfie" is still one of my most challenging papercrafts, and the one from Otaku Crafts looks just as challenging, but if you manage to assemble them, having a papercraft wolf Link is really cool! ;o)

Star Wars Episode IV papercraft toy Luke, Han and Chewie


A long time ago... (well, only a couple of weeks really, but I missed it then ;o) on the desk of Calvin Lin, some "Star Wars: A New Hope" era papercraft toy good guys were created to bring balance to the set of bad guys he made earlier! ;o)
