Thanks, Karen; I'm looking forward to seeing your posts.

Back in the day when my Epson desktop printers had only four  
cartridges, I believe I printed routinely on sheets of 300 gsm paper  
presented to the 900 and 1160 printer on top of a sheet of 364 gsm  
Crane card stock - which I thought was too thick to feed. But one day  
I inadvertently specified too many copies, and the printer took the  
364 gsm sheet in and printed on it. But those were re-purposed office  
printers. I'd be nervous about 350 gsm stock in the 1900 too. But I  
expect someone has tried it on the 1800 or in Europe or Asia maybe  
even on the 1900.

That's not all bad - let someone else do it! 8)

Good for you, Karen; enjoy the wedding and let the printing wait.
