i am not sure it might even melt in a laser printer. I know it doesn't work in a ink jet. Does the paper say laser proof on it? Otherwise I am not sure if its worth trying it out and killing your printer.

Design Notes:
Envelopments® C2 Cardstocks are available as Pocket Folds™, Envelopments®, Portable Pockets™, and any style of folded, Z, Gate, or flat cards. Please use Envelopments® names/colors when specifying your paper selections. Paper stocks are available in cut sizes. If you are not sure about a color or have something different in mind, you may contact us to inquire about additional paper selections we carry for custom cards from other manufacters that work well with Envelopments® products. See the styles & sizes chart for available cuts and exact sizing.

Metallic cardstocks are not recommended for most inkjet printers. However, they work wonderfully with many laser printers (rated for cardstock--best with a straight-through path), as well as for offset and thermography printing, letterpress, engraving, and foil. Light inks printed on darker stocks by laser, inkjet or thermography are not recommended (either C1 or C2); opt instead for flat offset, foil, engraving, or letterpress printing to achieve optimal results using light ink on dark stock. Groove Cardstocks have a ribbed texture and are not recommended for printing (although we have had success printing on the smooth side). Metallic cardstocks, papers, and envelopes have the metallic coating on both sides, but groove textured cardstocks only have texture on one side as the other side is a smooth metallic finish. Most of the C2 stocks are 90 lb cover to 105 lb cover.
Envelope Icon represents cardstock colors that also have envelopes in a matching stock.
