The photos I print on glossy photo paper smear after they are printed. What should I do?
-
Make sure you are printing on the correct side of the paper. To avoid smearing your photos, do not touch the printed side until the ink is completely dry. When printing on glossy photo papers, ink drying times increase considerably (humidity, temperature, and other environmental conditions can affect photo drying times).
Note: Try removing each sheet from the output tray as it is printed and do not touch the printed side until the ink is completely dry.
