Ink is smearing

z The printout did not have time to dry

When printing documents that use a lot of ink, you must allow the

document more time to dry before handling it. This is especially true

for transparencies.

The printer driver’s Normal print mode is to designed to optimize

both drying time and speed. This mode allows the print output to

dry completely in most situations. However, when printing in very

humid environments, use the Best mode to allow a longer

drying time.

z The media type is causing the smearing

Some types of media do not accept ink well, which causes the ink

to dry more slowly and results in smearing.

See “Media and paper-handling specifications” for more information

about media.

z An incorrect media type is selected

The correct media must be selected in the printer driver. Make sure

the media selected in the printer driver matches the media loaded

in the tray.

z The media has been exposed to a humid environment

If media has been exposed to a humid environment, it might be

difficult to achieve the correct drying time, especially when printing

with heavy color saturation. Print on a fresh ream of media that has

been stored in a cool, dry place.

z Too much ink on the page is causing wrinkling

Color documents with rich, blended colors can use excess ink,

which wrinkles the page during printing and causes smearing.

Try using the Normal or Fast print quality setting to reduce ink,

or use HP media designed for printing vivid color documents.
