Blurry print on envelopes only

[TWPublishing]

I was trying to print on #10 envelopes today. I printed on regular paper last night, and the printing turned out fine. I tried on the envelopes - figured out how to load them, and how to get the printer to recognize the envelopes instead of regular paper. When it finally printed, the type is very blurry. Afterwards, after trying several times, I switched to address labels and they printed perfectly as well. Please advise!

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

Assuming the printer passes all it's quality tests,

Reference:   No black ink, wrong colors, other print quality issues

and

The printer can print on other supported paper sizes and types,

then

It's possible there is "something" about the envelopes that the printer dislikes.

For example,

• Too thick -- would perhaps feed incorrectly or jam if that were the case
• Too thin -- just not likely else you'd notice the envelopes are extra flimsy
• Too damp -- possible - what we can detect is not the same thing as what the printer detects
• Too dry -- similar to too damp and also hard to detect
• Odd surface -- too shiny, odd matte, extra absorbent paper
• Odd color -- anything other than white or light cream color
• Printer is old, stubborn, worn -- possible - old printers do not always tolerate what new printers do easily

What else?

If you want to sacrifice another envelope (or two), you could try changing the font / ink color.

Will changing the fonts / ink color be magic?

Maybe it will at least help reduce the "blurry' effects.
