285965 2004-10-29 06:12:00 Hullo all - I am trying to print a 49 page document (one sided) from Word 2002 using a Canon S750 bubble jet printer, with Canon ink. Because the document is important to me, I bought slightly more expensive paper today. I find that there is are black smeary marks on the REVERSE side of the paper, approximately 2 inches in from the right side (paper flipped vertically).

I have tried deep cleaning - has anyone anyother suggestions, other than printing one page at a time (which I think might work - but a bit laborious)? :(

Cheers

Just cannot see how "deep cleaning" could help here, apart from the risk it may deposit yet more ink inside the printer that could worsen the situation.

What was the reason for the "deep clean"?

No reason - try anything, Friday night, glass of wine . . .

Sounds as if it might be off the paper transport inside - what would/should I do about that? I don't think it is coming off the copy it sits on - as the position is very specific, in spite of varying pages it is sitting on . Thanks Godfather - I knew I could rely on someone like you!

Cheers again - and I think I am going to bed at this stage will check with you all in the morning .

285968 2004-10-29 18:29:00 it most proberly the ribbed paper guides on the bottom of the paper transport (Plastic) within the printer, take a DAMP cloth and gently clean these, then allow to dry, test print. Tthis problem is normally caused by a miss feed and the printer continues to print without paper putting ink on these plastic rib paper guides.
it could also be the pickup rollers this requires a printer techie as they are not easily cleaned.

285969 2004-10-29 19:43:00 I thought about this after I went to bed last night.....And it occured to me that it might be caused by the "bolded and underlined" text at the top of each page - and guess what, when I checked this morning - it lines up!

Now, back to the drawing board with layout and design!

Many thanks to you both for your comments. :)

285970 2004-10-29 20:12:00 I use an S750 and any rear marking problems I have had were from misprints and were cured by cleaning as already suggested .

However, if you believe the problem is caused by wet ink from the previous page, it is not necessary to print one page at a time . Just start the print and remove each page as it comes out . Manually stagger them as you stack so that the heavily inked area is not covered and reassemble as a full document once dry .

It sounds like your better quality paper may be glazed and not quite absorbent enough for inkjet printing .
