Print out is dirty, there are smudges of inks at the page center

i think the problem is with your print head. i have the same problem before. when i put out the print head to check. there's a lot of excess ink. this may be the reason for the ink smudges on the corners of your print. and when you set your printer to photo printing. it is programmed to put larger amount of ink than normal printing. the best way is to have your printer checked by your service center or change your printhead to a new one. goodluck!

plz try with another tonner cartridge, if the problem is not solved then you have to take your printer for servicing

How is the printer printing black and yellow color? Is it a smudge?

When I print, the pages are smudged with ink. What should I do?

This problem is with the fuser. It needs to be replaced. They tend to burn out right in the center leaving a rolling smudge across the page as the unfused toner left on the roller gets printed on the next roll-over.

- Try to reallign the cartridge, run a print test, after that if the issue still persist - uninstall and reinstall software - run test and re-allign again the cardtridge using software. run print test again.

I need more specific info. Where is the ink: on one side only or all across the page. On the top only or all down the page. Does it look like smudges or spatter.
