Why is my ink not drying on glossy paper?

Now, we take glossy photo paper as an example. If you find that ink is still wet after printing on Glossy Paper and even after ink dries, smudge appears.May be due to the following problems:

1. Print settings

To resolve this issue, ensure that the Media Type setting in the printer driver or the Paper Type setting in the machine’s menu matches the type of paper you are using.

2. Even if you use our glossy inkjet paper and choose Other Photo Paper or Other Glossy for the settings, this issue may still occur. maybe the reason as below :

Please check your ink and glossy photo paper type is Cast coated glossy photo paper (CC) or Resion coated glossy photo paper (RC).

CC glossy photo paper is used dye ink to printing ,if you used pigment ink to printing , maybe  this question occur.

RC photo paper is compatible with both pigment and dye ink, but pigment ink is better.  If you used dye ink to printing ,It may happen that the ink does not dry in time.

So choose correct ink and paper to avoid the situation from happening.

3.Glossy photo paper suggest use 6 color inkjet printing , not suggest use 4 color inkjet printer . if you used 4 color printer to printing ,the ink also could not dry.
