If your printer is smudging or smearing the ink on the page, here are some steps you should try:

1. Clean the Printer Rollers: Inkjet printers should have a roller cleaning process you can initiate. Follow the printer’s instruction manual to determine how to do this.


2. Check Printer Settings: Make sure you have the correct settings selected for your paper type and the amount of ink being used in the printing process.


3. Use Quality Ink and Paper: Cross-check that your ink and paper are suitable materials for your printer. If it is not, you may find yourself with smudgy and smeared prints.


4. Check for Firmware Updates: Visit the manufacturer’s website to check if they have any firmware updates available that could be causing the smudging.
