Smudging means that the rubber feed rollers are slipping. Clean the
rollers or stop using high gloss (slippery) cardstock.
How BIG does your printer have to be to reliably do two sided card stock?
I could answer that if you would offer a clue as to how many pound
cardstock you need to print or what printer you are using. The
maximum thickness paper should be in the printer paper handling
specification.
What's critical for printing on cardboard is whether you have a
straight or bent paper path. If the paper path is reasonably
straight, it might work. If the paper path bends back onto itself in
the form of a "U", you'll be lucky if you get anything over 24 lb to
work.
Also, your printer driver has some settings which include the paper
type and thickness. This setting needs to be set to something
resembling the paper you are using.
