Can anyone recommend a printer that will be great for printing onto card. I make my own greetings cards, and my current DELL printer is just so temperamental that I want to replace it as it really struggles with anything thicker than paper now. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I would recommend a 'though feed' printer for card.
Most current printers feed the paper from the front, turn 180 degrees, print, then eject through the front - a torturous route for card, whereas a through-feed printer feeds from the top hopper, turns through about 120 degrees, prints then ejects to the front - a much simple path for card.
Pop into your local PC-World Shop and inspect some.
Whilst there take some advice on ink cost-per-page as some makes / models are much more expensive to run than others.
