Never had an ink printer, only laser. Does the ink run when it gets wet?" I'm thinking envelopes.

I've always use a inkjet printer, so I never had problems with ink running on the standard paper/photo paper.. It comes dry when it's done printing.

No. Comes out ready to go. Also, goes beyond low ink indicator. Meaning you can still print quite a lot until you really run out.

I have had both kinds of printers, and never had the problem of running ink.

Good morning, David! I notice that if I continually use the printer, the ink is used normally but if it sits for any length of time (e.g. week, weeks, months) than the ink dries up! The ink may be inexpensive but so much of it is wasted! I also don't like that if the color ink runs out the printer shuts down. I will not purchase another printer like this, inexpensive or not! Good luck!

Yes, it prints envelopes. I have easily and successfully printed standard size envelopes using Word running on a Mac. Printing custom sized Christmas card envelopes, however, was a bit tricky, but I was finally able to get it to work.

Not being there it is difficult to say about the ink smear. Normally I get my paper from WalMart next to the computer section. Georgia Pacific puts out papers made for the InkJets. I prefer the 24 pound weight paper over the 20 pound weight though it is probably a couple of bucks more expensive. Less hassle, paper absorbs the ink better and it has a decent brightness on it. You will have to look up which HP inks work with your printers. Normally HP provides software to tell you that information on the disk that comes with the computer. I normally do not use recycled ink even though it is cheaper. I find that there are very few bargains put out by HP on ink cartridges. Sam's Club has package deals that are better. Personally I use an 8600 deskjet and it uses 950/951 cartridges. I find it to be a pain to keep changing cartridges so I normally get the XL ones that have the extra ink. My other printer uses 564xl cartridges. The office jets hold more ink and last longer. The 309A photo printer I use strictly for quality printer and not production. HP is greedy. They quit making a triple quantity XL for the office jet because it lasts too long. Personally I think they need to have their heads examined. The greatest attraction to me is cheap ink, cheap but quality printer, and low overhead on everything. Our family could easily wear out a printer if the ink was reasonable. I considered one of the newer laser printers for that reason. Haven't upgraded to one yet. I think the laser cartridges are way too expensive for the average home.

I had problems with this printer not printing envelopes. I suggest returning the product. I then purchased a Canon mx870. Love it. No problem s.

Although this isn't the same model I have, your all-in-one printers are inkjets. They would otherwise specify if they were laser printer.

With a laser printer I did not have this issue. I would guess that on an inkjet printer the issue would vary by ink manufacturer.

I haven't tried. I use waterproof products for my purposes. Just be careful the fuser in the printer could melt it. If you do try it I'd like to know how it turns out.

I used a regular printer and they worked. Just do not allow it to come in contact with water or it will bleed

I will answer this but I'm new to being in an office. I had an HP and it was tempermental. It worked when it wanted to, or so it seems. Then by sitting idle the ink dried out and they are very expensive. Now I have a Canon and I can not believe how fast it prints. And I learned quickly how to scan and send. Would I recommend this? Darn tootin! Great machine and the toner costs a lot less and last longer. Joh

I have never had ink scratch on my Watershield TYs. I use an Epson printer.

There definately is something not right with the ink system. I have owned this printer for over two years. First of all it is barely alive, never when new printed from bottom tray. Long Story short I ordered ink through amazon. I made the merchant rfeplace the ink for it evaporated in my machine in lil over a month. I am in the market for a new one!!

You do NOT put these envelopes in a laser printer! The insert should be programmed to show thru the two windows when folded properly. You should purchase plain envelopes if laser printing is to be used.

Yes. This printer uses Epson Durabrite ink, which is pigment-based and is therefore waterproof (unlike dye-based inkjet inks, which are not waterproof).

Not sure about the laser jet. My problem was with an inkjet printer and I had an ink system failure. Had to get a new printer

I have an ink jet printer and it was fine. No smudging at all. I was very please with the result.

It handles envelopes just fine.Be aware of off brand toners. I used some and they leaked. When I went back to the HP toner the printer would now longer accept them. I am still looking to fix this machine so if you know anyone that can help let me know.
