Paper thickness and printing

[RodgerThePhotographer]

Would like any printer recommendations (arguably I'd prefer staying around $500) which have a back to front feed and can safely accept and print to thicknesses up to .05mm?
9Was looking at the Canon 100 pixma but couldn't readily find the data).
Thanks!

I don't know the answer, but in the US paper is often specified in mils, ie thousandths of an inch. .05mm is about 2 mil, very thin like newspaper.

This isn't letting me edit.....I need to print on aluminum foil (ie a coated foil taped to a regular piece of copy paper, so I'm thinking at least .05mm thick if not more so) but I sure don't want to ruin any nozzles etc...
Any ideas?

There's something very wrong here.

Regular white office paper here in the USA is commonly 24 pound, which is 0.11mm thick.

There is a thinner paper often used in copiers because it's slightly cheaper, probably like 0.10mm thick.

I expect your foil + paper is going to be around 0.15mm to 0.20mm, not 0.05mm.
Remember, when considering paper transport through a printer, you must add the thickness of the Scotch tape.
