Printed documents smudge easily
If you find that the ink smudges easily, there may be a compatibility problem between the ink and the paper you are using. It is recommended that you try using a different brand of paper.
If this doesn’t resolve the problem, try changing the INK SET setting to setting B (47 in the SETTINGS menu). Note that the ink setting will affect copies and faxes only (not PC prints).
