PIXMA TS9521Ca Ink smudge after I print using printable vinyl sticker paper

[Cynthia_F]

Hello All ! 

Recently I have purchased a cricut machine and I started to make printable stickers. My older printer was not printing such great quality so I did some research in hopes of finding a great printer that will help me create some amazing stickers ! So after some research I decided today to purchase the Canon Pixma TS9521Ca because I found it to be the best printer for my projects.

So heres my question, I have printed out images using the Printable Vinyl sticker paper from HTVRONT because I was told this is a good brand of sticker paper and it was also compatible with the Canon Pixma TS9521Ca, the issue is after it prints I let it sit for 15minutes to dry but when I touch it the ink smears.

Any suggestion to help me fix this issue? All tips will be extremely helpful! Thankyou everyone!

According to their website, 5 minutes should be sufficient. I believe this Canon uses two different inks for the black color (one dye-based and one pigment-based) so that could be an issue. I would look up the ink types (Canon manual) and contact HTVRONT ( support@htvront.com ) and ask them why the ink isn't drying (they might want to know about the ink type).
