Brand new Pixma Pro-100 runny, wet prints

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I just set up my brand new Pro-100 printers using Canon ink and paper and the prints are coming out very wet and runny.  I print from Lightroom.  Am I missing a setting somewhere?

 

Thanks!

Thanks everybody.  I tried a different paper and that solved the issue so either I was printing the wrong side of the first paper (since it doesn't have a watermark on the back) or the paper is the issue.  I would bet I was printing on the wrong side.

 

Thanks again, all is well!

Glad all is well now. You should be very pleased with the printer.

Joe,

Great news.  It is a fantastic printer.  It is my third one in this series.  I have the 9000, the 9500 and a Pro-100.

I still use all three but the 9X00 versions are being used less and less.

Thank you. I have been looking for a photo printer that will give me nice prints.

After reading these comments. Im a bit worried. The first time I put a print in (today) it was blurry. I realized right away I used the wrong side of the paper and the second and third prints came out fine. But Im wondering if on day 1 I screwed up the printer's insides..Please give me your opinion on that (not that I can do much about it now). Did the original poster find that her (?) printer life was limited due to the original wet prints?  Thanks.

The worse thing would be contaminated print rollers and paper handling parts.  But it will dry...in time or you can clean them if necessary.

Print Quality should be "Standard".

Not to worry. You didn't damage your printer.
