i am a new committee member of a car club and have been given the job of
printing off 200 car passes. they will be of post card size and in colour.
my laser printer only prints in monotone, i have looked into getting a
colour laser printer but they don't say if they can print on card. The card
needs to be of post card thickness really or they will feel to flimsy. Is
there any other options out there i.e. printing firms or printers known to
print on card ok?

Most mono lasers will top out at about 160gsm and that is not really
that stiff. Some of the colour ones will do better but are a fair bit
more expensive. Inkjets will often handle photo paper at up to 280gsm
which probably is stiff enough for what you want.

A Canon pixmar 4200 is pretty flexible on paper handling and is cheap to
re ink as well. I would suggest avoiding the low end ink jets as the
running costs are silly.

You may find it cheaper to take the job to a local print shop however.
