PIXMA iP8720 Poor photo print quality and ink stays wet

[oldhiway]

Hello all. So, I bought the Canon PIXMA iP8720 printer recently. I've printed several photos out. Been getting beautiful results...until now. It just started printing very bad quality prints, and the ink on the prints is so wet, it smudges with the slightest touch. I'm printing on 11x17 glossy photo paper. I haven't switched paper. All of my prints to date have looked great and were dry at the completion of printing.

I'm attaching a photo showing the image I'm printing and the print out. The right edge of the print is white because I cancelled the printing before it was finished.

Can someone help me with this? Thanks.
