-Check the printer specs. Epson desktop (except wide format) toploaders have always left something to be desired beyond medium-weight papers, such as 27lb premium and medium-weight photo papers. For example, I can put 27lb premium paper in most Epsons, but I would have to double-check the specs for my 90lb cardstock (in contrast, I know my monochrome and color lasers can handle it, but an inkjet printer might struggle). The L310 uses the cheaper XP mechanism, which is one of those mechanisms that has some limitations.
