I have a HP Envy print/scan/copy printer which has a HP black cartridge and a HP colour one. It prints just fine for ordinary documents.
Now and again my daughter or the grandchildren want me to print an A4 copy of a photo that I may have taken of them playing, dancing, football etc.
The printer is very temperamental on decent photo paper of 200-250 gms in that it won't feed through.
Consequently I have had to resort to a 150gm paper - Ryman Photo Gloss.
However whilst the prints look ok for their purpose, the ink does not seem to be stable, in that if you rub a finger across it (which grandchildren do ) ,
the colour seems to rub off as a kind of dust, particularly the black. This does not happen on plain white paper.
I have used an everyday HP gloss paper in the past which seemed ok but I cannot find it anywhere now.
Any idea whether it is the ink? Or the paper? Or how to fix it?
For my prints, I use DSCL so I have no desire to upgrade the printer, paricularly for what probably amounts to a couple of prints a month
