Epson ET-8550 Bronzing?

No ,your finger must be dry ,better you use a clean dry cloth.
With damp finger the dye ink will also smudge/desolve.

Oh! OK...will try again.

With clean dry tissue, I'm not getting any smudging in either of the black channels?

just put a drop of water on the nozzle print and let it penetrate by itself and see if you see a black ring after the water droplet has diffused through the paper: rubbing is not a good way to determine it. It should be done by passive diffusion to see.

How does this look to you?

This all leaves me completly baffled! On my old ET-7750 I was getting good prints on premium glossy. But on the ET-8550 bronzing problems renders the printer unusable. On Epson Matte the ET-8550 is more than capable of making very good prints. I'll just use the printer on matte paper in the future.
