Printing using 'Fine' setting

[PaulBaggott]

Happy with my OfficeJet Pro 7730. £149 well spent.

I'm printing high colour A3 borderless digital paintings onto silk photo paper.

Although I'm relatively happy with the prints, some fine details are missing. I have tried the 'Fine' print setting but the ink smudges and floods when printing.

Does anyone know...

1. What the 'Fine' setting is for?

2. Why it is smudging and how to avoid it?

3. Whether the 'Fine' setting will bring out some of those details that are lacking?

I realise the prints are never going to look as good as they appear on a backlit laptop screen but any advice as how to get the best prints would be appreciated.

Thanks.
