Cover printing help
e_brugal:
Another topic that will sound like a newbie question, but no :P
I'm trying to print covers in Photoshop but this is happening
I'm using an HP 9800 (from my office), I have use this printer to print other covers like this one (the cover in this photos in the case where for UGC, those photos were taken before I start modifying to CGC. That's why the spine looks of center and the inlay have a white line on the right).
But with those other cover I used another PC and another Photoshop (in other words, same printer, different laptop and photoshop). I have mess a little with the settings and the results was the 3rd photo. I have change the ink cartridges before printing those 3.
I noticed that is using more ink , the paper comes very wet of ink (seriously wet) than the one I print before my pc broke and had to change everything
What can I do to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
Edit: and no, I'm not at work right now lol

If the paper is getting wet, then it's using the wrong settings for that paper.
What weight/quality is your paper? And what settings have you got set for paper type and print quality?

Sheep beat me to it, but if the paper is that wet, it sounds like the printer is trying to print on a different type of paper. In the past I accidentally left my matte paper settings on when trying to print on glossy paper. It was so wet, I could just about wipe the ink right off the paper, even after letting it sit for several hours.

I bought the paper as individual sheets, so i don't know the quality and weight.
This is the last setting i use (phtotos 1,2,5,6,7)
Also this

Best guess is that setting for hp premium photo paper.
Turn it to regular paper and see what the effect is.
