Printing from AI 2017 with Avery Greeting Card Stock

[RachelleSher]

I am printing directly from AI and using Avery Greeting Card Stock # 3265.  I do not see the correct choice in paper stock in ANY of my settings.  I am printing but I have to babysit as after every page printed, I am told, "Incorrect Feed or No Paper".  Help!  I worked hard to design my Christmas and need to print them!

That needs to be set up in your printer driver. Which printer is it?

[RachelleSher]

Thank you for the reply Monika. I'm using an Epson Artisan 1430. The print drivers are up-to-date. In the printer settings, the type of paper I am using

(Avery greeting cards)  is not listed . What are my other options? The paper I am using is Avery Half fold Greeting Cards Matte3265​

(PS Don't mind the ! warning, I did something while changing a cartridge and I need to call Epson.  It says, "Printer Not Communicating"  . . But it is!  I am printing, I just have to sit here and babysit!!  )

Those settings refer to the paper finishing, not the size setup.

So from that list you have to find a setting that gives you a good color result and doesn't put too much ink onto the paper.

Maybe Avery has those settings, but I doubt it. If you want to know for sure, you will have to ask Avery what to select there.

I wouldn't select the glossy ones, because typically they put way too much ink onto the paper, which is fine for photo finish paper, but might create a real mess on any other paper.
