I am disappointed with the print quality I am getting from my DeskJet 660Cse. &nbsp;I am looking for bith explanations and suggestions.<br />

I've already studied the user's guide, the troubleshooting guide, and online help. &nbsp;I have also done quite a bit of testing with various settings. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
So far, I have found that I can get reasonable quality by minimizing the amount if ink used, by setting the print quality to &quot;EconoFast&quot; and paper to &quot;HP Premium InkJet Paper.&quot;<br />
<br />
However, to get good color printing, I have to set the print quality to &quot;Normal&quot; or &quot;Best,&quot; which leads to smudged black on portions of the page using just black ink. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
A number of people have suggested that the ink can smear if the printouts are handled too quickly out of the printer. &nbsp;My problems are occurring as the paper comes out of the printer.<br />

Thoughts?

I am disappointed with the print quality I am getting from my DeskJet 660Cse.  I am looking for bith explanations and suggestions.

I've already studied the user's guide, the troubleshooting guide, and online help.  I have also done quite a bit of testing with various settings.  

So far, I have found that I can get reasonable quality by minimizing the amount if ink used, by setting the print quality to "EconoFast" and paper to "HP Premium InkJet Paper."

However, to get good color printing, I have to set the print quality to "Normal" or "Best," which leads to smudged black on portions of the page using just black ink.  

A number of people have suggested that the ink can smear if the printouts are handled too quickly out of the printer.  My problems are occurring as the paper comes out of the printer.

DeskJet 660Cse Print Quality

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
