I tried to print on a CD Sleeve (Word 2000).
I set the paper size to 5" X 5", which seemed to be OK.

I'm using an Epson CX6600 printer and set the paper "weight" to heavyweght
matte.

I printed about ten sleeves and about half of them came out smeared with the
black ink.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Doug

I don't think most CD sleeves are meant to be printed on. You might try
using clear labels instead.

Your printer may have a setting to adjust the drying time.

Your printer's ability to handle this type of sleeve is clearly marginal.
This is not a function that Word can correct.
