Thank you!!!!!!! I was trying to print 100 party invitations and the envelopes came out with ink smears every time. After your cleaning method, they are coming out perfectly! You saved me $250. :)
Excellent post! I was considering buying a new printer, but fortunately found your YT. I used the paper towel cleaning approach you described - it worked for my Epson XP-7100 :). I did the blotting approach plus moving the print heads back and forth over windex moistened paper towel, which was needed to remove the last bit of smearing in my case.
You are a genius ❤ my printer does this all over my sublimation paper and i get so irritated. Cleaning the print head never works. This worked like a charm!
Thank you very much. I wish I had seen this before I wasted around $30.00 worth of 13 x 19 paper. I really appreciate this. My problem dried black dust that would smear or wipe off.
I want to say to you “ Thank you so much for your video” I was almost going to smash the printer, how frustrated I was. I did the cleaning with the winder, my nails are black but I am so happy. I have a beautiful printing without ink smearing. Thank you so much.
I haven't tried transparent matte. But if you can see the ink sitting on top of the paper, you can reduce the ink density in the extended settings. Try -3% for ink density.
My printer was working fine until yesterday when i printed a few regular black in document. Today when i printed color on glossy paper, now Im getting black ink smudges. I checked printer settings were set to glossy paper and high quality. I also tried your suggestions and it didnt help. 😭
I include how to change it in the video. It depends on your printer. I use Epson so I set my paper type to glossy photo paper and quality is high (but I can get away with using standard, because the print quality is amazing with their photo printers).
@@CraftiqueByRoLLC I am having that same issue with my Ecotank 8550 and I didn't have that issue before. I use Koala inkjet glossy photo paper and have never had an issue until now. I hope someone has a resolve to this problem.

Hi! Do you have a video on how to print on transparent matte sticker paper? I tried everything and it seems like the ink never dries..
I haven't tried transparent matte. But if you can see the ink sitting on top of the paper, you can reduce the ink density in the extended settings. Try -3% for ink density.

How about for sublimation for an epson on a 2800
I don't have that specific model and haven't had issuing with my sublimation printer yet
So useful !! Question : which printer do you have ?
the black one in the video is the et7750, but I also use the 8500 and 8550
@@PrettyPartyandCraftyI have this problem with my 8500
Omg thank you. Do you know what settings is best is your ink rubs off when using glossy paper?

@@PrettyPartyandCrafty I'm using epson 8550 and those setting but i made some chipbags and the ink rubs off. Maybe its the paper???
@@CraftiqueByRoLLC what paper are you using?

You da 🐐
Mine is set to premium presentation but was using plain paper and it smeared
If printing on glossy paper, paper type should be set to photo paper glossy, standard quality.
@@PrettyPartyandCrafty I have the eco tank 2800 and it doesn’t have photo paper glossy just glossy
I have a question how can I stop my printer from moving my paper and smearing all the colors
Make sure you move the paper guides to fit your size paper snug
My printer is only a week old I shouldn’t have to do a head cleaning right
