Product: HP inks
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)
I use HP inks on my HP inkjet 5540 series printer.
I make cards and up until a few month ago everything was fine.
Now the inks smell dreadful and the card retains the smell even when the ink is dry and it remains like that however long I leave it out.
My family recipients are very honest and tell me the card smells gross when the envelope is open.
Not sure what other recipients feel as they are too polite to comment!!
The card itself is fine. It is new and from a reputable source.
Does anyone else have this problem and if so, how have you overcome it?
Thanks
