How can I fix inkjet ink on glossy card without it smudging? -

When printing on glossy card the ink doen t dry for some time and even then it will still smudge

The ink shoud dry if you are using the correct ink and printer settings. You could go to a photography store, and see if they have a setting spray

Make certain that the paper that you re using is for inkjet printers and not for laser. That s a common mistake that people make when picking up paper at office supply stores. Especially when it comes to hp glossy brochure paper. http://jascoinksystems.com Report Abuse

Setting your printer to glossy paper probably controls the amount of ink. Glossy paper needs far less ink but that s not the answer to the problem. In the printing industry they add driers to the ink so that it will dry on glossy paper. Most ink is designed to be absorbed into the paper s fibers but Glossy paper has a coating on it to make it glossy so the ink just sits on top and never dries. Another trick (and by far the best) is to print on matte paper and laminate it. This was suggested above. Laminating matte paper will be around the same cost as purchasing special glossy paper designed for ink jet printers which is sold at better stationers.

make sure that the properties for the printer are set to print on glossy paper.

You are using a paper that is not inkjet compatible, or is not compatibly with you printer. EPson ink will not dry properly on HP paper and vice versa. The only way to get you printers to last is to replace the paper with one that is compatible with your printer.

Go to Printer PROPERTIES and make sure it is set to GLOSSY PAPER and not PLAIN Paper. Should be OK then. .
