Pro 100 Blurry Printing

[jhuert2]

Hey everyone, I've seen multiple similar posts, but still no answers. I am trying to print an invitation on 100lb smooth cardstock, but I am getting blurry text. I FINALLY got it to improve by selecting the fine art paper option, but it's still fairly low quality. Does anybody have other ideas on what I could to to improve the print quality? 

I have prevent paper abrasion turned on, it is a new printer, and I've tried just about every ICC Profile and media type option, but the text is still fuzzy. 

Help!?

If you are using an uncoated card stock there is probably nothing much you can do. The liquid ink is soaking into the card stock and spreading. 

Put a pinhead drop of water on the surface and see how it spreads.

Thank you! I went to go get some new inkjet ready paper and the prints look amazing now.
