Best printer for printing postcards and thick paper/card?

I am having trouble finding a small desk top printer to print onto postcards and thick card .The printer I have an Epson stylus does not grab the card to feed it through the printer and even applying pressure is a hit and miss game resulting in misplaced print etc.They have to be available in the UK and can be black and white only as we only print text onto preprinted cards.It is for a charity to print thankyou cards so the cheaper the better but reliability and longevity is also needed Thanks in advance for your help

    HP can support more than 120 gsm. It can go as high as 236 gsm (145 pounds). I don't know where the other poster got his info as all HP can print on heavy stock.

    Check out the HP officejet 6300 .

    You'll need to find your self a commercial printer then.

    Desktop or rather domestic printers can only handle up to about 120 gsm [grams per sq metre]

    which is good quality [usually watermarked] A4 paper

    Card is considered to be 160 gsm and upwards
