Hi @Carpetesm,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding printing!  

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

If your HP ENVY Inspire 7900 prints blurry only on #10 envelopes, here are some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:

Adjust Print Quality Settings

• Open Printer Preferences on your computer.
• Go to Paper/Quality or Advanced Settings.
• Change the Print Quality to Best or High Resolution.
• If available, select Envelope as the paper type.

Use the Rear Paper Feed

• Envelopes may not feed well through the main tray, causing smudging.
• If your printer has a rear paper feed, try using that instead.

Adjust the Paper Type & Weight

• Go to Printer Preferences > Paper Type and select Thick Paper or Envelope.
• Envelopes have a different surface texture, and using the wrong setting may cause ink smearing.

Check Ink Smearing & Drying Time

• If ink is smudging:
  • Go to Printer Preferences > Advanced Settings and enable "Reduce Ink Drying Time" if available.
  • Let the envelope dry before touching.
  • Try using a different brand of envelopes, as glossy or coated ones may not absorb ink well.

Clean the Printhead

• Open HP Smart App or Printer Maintenance Settings.
• Run a Printhead Cleaning to remove ink buildup.

Manually Align the Printhead

• Misalignment can cause blurriness.
• Go to Printer Settings > Tools > Align Printhead.

Print a Test Page

• Print a test document (like a Word page) on plain paper using the same settings.
• If it prints fine, the issue is with the envelope's material or thickness.

If none of these step's work, let me know, and we can try more solutions! 😊
