- Canon IP4000 Ink Smudging
- Posted by speakeasy on January 24th, 2005
The plain paper setting is very fast (approx 5 secs a page) however the ink
smudges (leaves ink on your fingers), maybe the ink has not fused properly
with the paper. The photo/high res setting has no smudging issues but the
printing is much slower (approx 30 secs a page). I'm using 100g/m paper
and printing colour business documents. Anyone else got the same results?
Still glad I bought it as the print quality and duplex printing is great.
Also the design is top notch.

This is a paper issue, try something else. I use HP Multipurpose for all my
flyers and letter, no problems.

I found Hammermill paper to be the whitest, brightest and best.

I agree with Dan, i have no problems using Canon plain paper. But, the
reason of not smudging with photo setting is that photo setting uses photo
black ink and not text one.
Duplex printing...it's great, sure, but slow as hell...faster if you do it
manually...

I believe that one of the main reasons that duplex printing is slow, is to
allow the print to dry enough to prevent smuging while printing the second
side.

You can set the dry time delay in the "custom settings" section of the
maintenance tab.

Maybe you're right. But, i have this feeling that before printer takes paper
back in for second side print, it's doing....something....for quite a
time...it's similar like when you print first page after a day of rest, it
starts, then again it's "doing" something for almost a minute, then it spits
out page. OK, cleaning heads, making sure ink will flow etc. But, must be
all this so long...?
BTW...i just read some printer review and they briefly said that duplex
printing degrades print quality...i wonder why...
