Hi @TerryS1947,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e is producing wet and blurry prints when printing pictures from a magazine to a brochure, here are some possible causes and solutions.
 

Possible Causes:

1. Paper Type Mismatch – If you’re using glossy or brochure paper, but the printer is set to plain paper mode, it may use too much ink.
2. Ink Saturation – Excess ink can make prints appear wet and smudged.
3. Print Quality Settings – High-quality settings may apply too much ink.
4. Ink or Printhead Issues – If the printhead is clogged, it may cause excessive ink dispersion.
5. Paper Absorption Issue – Some glossy papers take longer to dry.

Solutions:

Check Paper Settings:

• On your printer settings, ensure that the paper type matches the actual paper you are using.
• If printing on glossy or brochure paper, select the corresponding option in the printer settings.

Reduce Print Quality:

• Lower the print quality setting from "Best" to "Normal" or "Draft" to use less ink.

Allow Drying Time:

• Let the printed page dry before handling it, especially if using glossy paper.

Use HP Ink and Paper:

• Third-party ink or low-quality paper may cause smudging.

Printhead Maintenance:

• Run a printhead cleaning via the HP Smart app or printer menu to ensure no clogged nozzles.

Try Different Paper:

• Use a different type of glossy or brochure paper, preferably HP-recommended paper.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
