Ink is smearing - Canon PIXMA mini320 Photo Printer

There are some ideas in the link. Check that the ink roller hasn't become dislodged and is dragging on the paper. Also check that there is no torn paper in the gap between paper and roller that has soaked up ink like a wick..

It is the ink and paper, it is ink water will make it smear, There are some special inks and paper but cost more.

Using original cartridges won happen like this.

HP ink is water soluble. It comes off or smears onto a damp finger. So now I have an issue with HP.

You need to clean the bottom of the printhead, and use a Q-tip to clean the wipers on the clean station that is on the right side where the printhead parks. There are 2 or 3 squeegees there that wipe the bottom of the printhead and when there's too much ink it stays on the printhead causing the smears.

you may have to clean the print head. since the jam cause the smear, and there still have some ink left on the print head.
you wouldn't get aclean copy till all of the ink trace are gone.

Call lexmark and they are going to send me a new printer since it is still under warranty.

You need to clean the print head until the smears clear up

Okay, this was the problem I posted a few days ago. It's fixed now, so in case you have the same problem with smearing, here's what the help desk from Canon suggested: Open the cover and remove the ink cartridges. There is a gray lever in front of the cartridges. Lift this lever and the printhead can be easily removed.
Our printhead had a buildup of black ink on the surface. I carefully removed this with rubbing alcohol. I let the printhead dry and replaced everything. No more smearing. Imagine a help-desk that actually helped!

Hi Are you using OEM or rebuilt toners? If your using OEM and your able to smear the ink with your finger more than likely you have a fuser problem?. If your using rebuilt cartridges it could be the cartridge. Good Luck!!
