Did the pvc card smear after you printed ?

No. No smears, but that will probably be affected by the type of ink used as well.

Only a few times. Ink will drag if your card design's bleed area is too large. If ink gets on the tray it will drag ink back on the print head and back on to your pvc card.Wash and dry the tray if you see ink smudges.

The pvc card did not smear and was waterproof when tested by dropping in a glass of water.

some times the printer wont recognize a refiled cartridge. there is a chance that you may have caused damage to the contact strip. you have to be very careful when refilling the cartridge ,you should find some noe that know how to fill them to show you.

I had the same problem there is a drum component of the toner cartridge that electrostatically "spreads the toner" before it is heated and fused to the paper. I believe the drum unit is defective. I returned my cartridge to Amazon for this reason. I had smudges and what looked like double images on the paper.

Great question, David. As it turns out, because of the pattern engraving process and the laser cutting process for the design, in rare instances there have been cases where a little residue is left from the manufacturing process. This has been the case in all of the "rust" issues. In fact, the "rust" (with a little effort) will wipe off. However, this is unacceptable to us and we always send the customer a new card holder. Does this make sense?Your satisfaction and experience with us is important to me!

Yes I have had that problem. I believe it is because I rarely used the cartridge prior to refilling. Maybe running the ''cleaning'' procedure on the printer would be helpful to us next time.

It is very possible with some papers even if they aren't double sided. Only problem is that the ink may smear and in some cases may not dry, no longer how long you wait for it to do so. I accidentally printed on the wrong side of a paper and the next day it still smeared. Best thing to do is give it a try to test it and also check the other side to make sure it doesn't effect the print, it could show through. Good Luck.

Neither could I... I am glad I am not the only one!!Once I had a couple of documents in the queue of my computer printer, and when I put the cartridges in it actually started printing without alignment!!! It worked for one day. They were very good and I was able to return them. I was reimbursed.

I thought the same way before, and my wife was really mad at me for using this product. After I refilled my cartridge, everything prints out well. My computer did say that the printer is using a cartridge is not genuine. However, that was a minor problem since I just wipe the ink off the cartridges (Maybe it was blocking the microscanner). So I have refilled twice so far and it has been over 4 months, and nothing negative had happened. It works great so far. I print a lot too.

RSVP cards are blank. Be sure to use a home printer. Don't take to a kinkos they ruined 50 of ours. They won't print correctly.

I went to Lowes and got 3_10ft pvc pipes, and using my 9x22 backdrop canvas and have no issues. I'm thinking my pvc is heaver than your paper?

It might be that the printhead is dirty. I save that blue alignment/cleaning card at the bottom of the stack of photo paper and run it through again (put it back on the bottom, with the printed side down, and it'll run through when you close the paper compartment cover). I also put it back on the bottom if it's going to be a while before I use the printer again.

Great experience with Lexmark customer service. I told them I was getting blue smears with Pro901. They did not make me run through print head cleaning while on the phone or anything. They just took my contact info and are shipped a free replacement print head. They will also include a web link by email to update firmware on the printer to reduce the chance of running into this issue again. They will send return shipping label to return old print head. Total time on phone was 14 minutes including 2 minute wait time.

It has to be a misprint. There is no way .... my son printed maybe 50 before the ink was gone.

I printed on business cards and didn't have a problem with them. I'm not sure how other types of paper, like photo paper, would do in them.

I haven't had that happen to me. You may have damaged something, on the cartridge, I mean. Sorry. I have had good luck with all of mine so far.

Mine did that and I did everything... Finally, I found it was the paper I got on special at Staples.... It was sticking up someway.... I switched to another brand... worked fine...

Make sure you have the paper type properly set. I accidently set mine to card stock, deactivating duplex printing for that tray.
